Is there any way to adjust the scroll wheel speed for NetSurf independently of the global settings? Mouse movement itself is OK. RiscPC, OS 6.14, NS #822 Scroll speed on my Iyonix/BB is perfect especially for long pages. It was painfully slow on earlier versions. I would certainly not want it going any slower. IIRC, NetSurf has special-cased scroll wheel support for the different versions of RISC OS, due to differences in the implementations between the systems. When I added support for scrolling the new frames, I tested it on RISC OS 5; I have no access to RISC OS 6, and so am unlikely to ever test the different set of code that gets used on that system. Unfortunately HID as suggested by John wouldn't work on the RiscPC because it was designed for the Castle Technology USB stack. Correct. HID also complicates things, as it removes some of the quirks of the vanilla RISC OS 5 scroll wheel support. I'm fairly sure that I tested NetSurf with and without HID running, however. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England Wakefield Acorn RISC OS Show Saturday 20 April 2013 http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/ http://www.wakefieldshow.org.uk/
Re: Scroll wheel speed
On 20 Jan, Richard Torrens (lists) wrote in message 5310fde37bli...@torrens.org.uk: The main problem I find is not the speed, but the fact that there is a buffer somewhere that stores scroll clicks, so that scrolling continues after the wheel is stopped. That's in RISC OS, and happens when the app doesn't take scroll events as quickly as you produce them. See also scrolling via PageUp/Down. -- Steve Fryatt - Leeds, England Wakefield Acorn RISC OS Show Saturday 20 April 2013 http://www.stevefryatt.org.uk/ http://www.wakefieldshow.org.uk/

Re: RISC OS Netsurf on Beagleboard
Dear all Just to let you know that with the able and willing assistance of John-Mark Bell we have solved the problem. I had an out-of-date version of a module installed, called CryptRandom. Originally (when Netsurf reported it needed CryptRand) I'd Googled for CryptRandom and the search results delivered 1 June 2012...Current version is 0.03 I had version 0.12 installed. Naturally I had (mistakenly as it turned out) assumed that version 0.12 was later than version 0.03, whereas in fact the latest version is in fact 0.13. I daresay you probably all have got version 0.13 anyway but just to make you aware if you haven't! Thanks again to John-Mark and the team best, -- Chris

NetSurf and Flash
What, please, is the current status of Flash working with NetSurf? A search doesn't come up with anything particularly edifying. My copy is 0.411.1.1 29 Nov 2004 I guess it's a case of don't hold your breath.

The current state is that it will not work (we long ago disabled plugin support), and that we're never likely to have it. This isn't so much of a problem because Flash is slowly dying off anyway (much like Java). B.
