That makes sense. But too much of the list is out of date to be honest which does not help. >> As some else has already said it works with AE on as well. > I can't answer for that (NetSurf on my ARMini is configured both with AE > off and 'Use OS'), but I'm merely repeating the official advice (see > above).

I have amended my copy of !NetSurf to "Use OS" for images now. But I do think it needs clearly mentioning on the Netsurf website or in the downloads, that there is this potential issue. -- Chris Hughes --- To alter your preferences or leave the group, visit //www.freelists.org/list/armini-support List-related queries to info@xxxxxxxxxxxx
