Any updates on this? After hearing that NetSurf was crashing I downloaded
the 2.5 release and tried it myself on my beagleboard. The first crash I
got appeared to be in exactly the same part of Tinct as shown in JMB's
crash dump.
"NetSurf configuration" -> "Image quality" : "Foreground = Use OS"
and "Background = Use OS" might be a temporary workaround. Please let
us know.
Yes, that seems to work. Also it's worth pointing out that it looks like
it's only 8bpp and 16bpp screen modes which result in a crash - 32bpp
seems to work fine, along with 4/2/1bpp (although I doubt many people
would accept those as a workaround). And any attempt to open the image
quality settings window in a 8bpp or 16bpp mode while NetSurf is set to
use Tinct will result in a crash, so you'd have to change to a working
mode to start using the workaround anyway.
In a week or two I'll hopefully have a working abort handler which will be
used to emulate the old rotated load behaviour for any code that attempts
an unaligned access. Relying on an abort handler obviously isn't an ideal
solution, but at least it will make NetSurf usable if the problems with
Tinct aren't resolved any time soon.
