You nailed it! Thanks. I got too lazy, and I was never sure I was doing it right. But I added yet another kernel modules folder to fienix/lib/ today and now I can play music with VLC to my bluetooth speaker(s?). Maybe it'll work in MATE too?

VLC works for music, but not video. Sound, but no picture except a bouncing traffic cone.

And I keep hoping that someday Arctic Fox won't keep making me log in to Hyperion or go through all that Captcha crap when I want to do some other things on line.

A lot of the text frames I get in fienix applications are black, and any typing in them is very hard to see. Is there something (probably obvious to everyone but me) to tweak to get readable versions?

My previously suggested fix does not work, and so I've removed it to prevent any confusion.
I have a fix that I will push to the repository.

I've released a Fienix-specific update to Arctic Fox (appended ".2" to the general release) that fixes certain issues with how widgets were displayed on some websites.
kilaueabart - please update Arctic Fox and let me know if this issue is resolved for you.

Hi Casey,

Many thanks for the updates. I was able to install them today. :-) I haven't found any issues yet.

Screenshot of Fienix PowerPC with Mesa 18.3.4, LibreOffice 6.1.5.2, Arctic Fox 27.9.15, and with the alpha5 of kernel 5.1 on an A-EON X1000 (We are very proud, that the official mainline vanilla Linux kernel supports our X1000 out of the box since version 5.0.):

Cheers,

Casey,

Thanks a lot for TVTime! :-) It works very well with my analog television PCI card WinTV Express with a BT878A chip.

Casey,

There are some graphical issues:

Have you seen them on your X5000 yet?

Thanks,

I haven't had similar graphical issues. Does that happen often?

Yes, it happens very often.
