PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

[JDW]

I just downloaded the new v3.1 under OS 10.4.11 on my G4 Cube (with 1.7GHz Sonnet CPU). Disk image mounted fine. But the MacFox v3.1 app launched and crashed right away...

Again, I don't know how to convey this info to the developer, but if anyone here does, please pass the word along. Thanks.

How much video memory do you have in the system? ISTR that Action Retro tried the 10.5 build on a G4 and had to upgrade his graphics card or he'd get a similar startup crash. (I'm not sure how he determined that was the problem, but it worked after he did.)

Just FYI, I fixed this several weeks ago - it seems like he was using my initial build.

The problem was related to these GPUs not supporting FBOs which caused the basic compositor to freak out.

The G4 Cube I am testing on has the stock ATI Radeon Rage 128 Pro installed. So I guess 16MB of VRAM? The machine is at the office and I’m home for the weekend so I can’t check right now.
