I finally got online today. Dillo or Firefox is very, very slow scrolling on any web page. Do you think it's the 64MB RAM or a Framebuffer xserver issue? I am running 800x600 16bit Framebuffer.

Both. Fbdev does not have the shadow option which speeds up scrolling on Vesa a lot.
With Xtrident you should get anything 2d fast.

Then the only change needed is to edit .xserverrc in your home directory to point into it (/opt/bin/Xtrident) instead of Xfbdev (keep the arguments).

When I changed .xserverrc to point to /opt/bin/Xtrident I get the following error on startx;

giving up.
xinit: No such file or directory (erro 2): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (erro 3): Server error

As a side note, /opt/bin/Xtrident does exist. This is a frugal install, does that matter?

From a console;

ls -l /opt/bin/Xtrident
-rwxr-xr-x   1  root  root  751800 Apr 3 2007 /opt/bin/Xtrident

Here's the entire new .xserverrc

exec  /opt/bin/Xtrident -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

The other bit of information that I can think of that may be pertinent is that I setup 3 partitions for the frugal install per this guide;
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/f/topic-3-26-8732-0.html

hda1 is for the image
hda2 is swap
hda3 is /home and /opt

Maybe my .xserverrc should be;

exec  /mnt/hda3/opt/bin/Xtrident -2button -mouse /dev/psaux -nolisten tcp -I &>/dev/null

I did check before running startx and /mnt/hda3 is mounted. Then again, shouldn't /opt/bin be in the path? This is confusing. Any help?

Edit: I did check and /opt/bin is in the $PATH
Edit 2: exec  /mnt/hda3/opt/bin/Xtrident produced the same errors.

What happens if you run it from the console (outside of X)? ie not startx, just Xtrident without any options.
