NETSURF ATARI FAQ
Date: 15.02.2011
01.) CAN NETSURF ALSO BE RUN WITHIN AN TOS ENVIRONMENT?
02.) I DON'T HAVE AN 15 BIT GRAPHICS CARD, HOW TO RUN NETSURF ANYWAY?
03.) WHEN I WANT TO RUN NETSURF IT SAYS: "SOCKET NOT CONNECTED".
04.) I'M GETTING "INSUFFICENT MEMORY" MESSAGES WHEN RUNNING NETSURF.
05.) A PAGE CRASHES - WHAT CAN I DO?
1.) Question:
CAN NETSURF ALSO BE RUN WITHIN AN TOS ENVIRONMENT?
Answer:
Yes NS can run on classic TOS. More or less.
It is intended to run within the FreeMint environment.
However there is no support for networking
right now. Networking support for FireTOS is maybe possible
in the future.
NS also has problems with Path conversions on all FileSystems
running under TOS. Try setting full paths within the Choices file.
2.) Question:
I DON'T HAVE AN 15 BIT GRAPHICS CARD, HOW TO RUN NETSURF ANYWAY?
Answer:
You need to trigger the config a bit.
enable the following Choices settings:
atari_font_driver:vdi
atari_transparency:0
suppress_images:1
This will run netsurf as a bloat textmode browser :)
3.) Question:
WHEN I WANT TO RUN NETSURF IT SAYS: "SOCKET NOT CONNECTED"
Answer:
Take a look at the system requirements! I statet NetSurf needs
the latest FreeMiNT 1.17 RELEASE. There was a bug within previous
Versions. Please update your kernel. OR install polipo proxy
provided as RPM within sparemint distribution. This is an
workaround, it should work out of the box. But if you want to
use the polipo disk-cache you should edit the config file.
4.) Question:
I'M GETTING "INSUFFICENT MEMORY" MESSAGES WHEN RUNNING NETSURF.
Answer:
Try to increase the TPA_INITIALMEM Configuration value within MINT.CNF
5.) Question:
A PAGE CRASHES - WHAT CAN I DO?
Answer:
Try to increase the stack memory for netsurf with the stack tool,
example:
stack -S 3000k ./ns.prg
If this results in "insufficent memory" messages - look for the
FAQ entry.
