Hello,

I just finished configuring a laptop in the opensuse 11.4 linux distro. The machine is nothing special, just a 2,5 year old toshiba laptop with a Intel dual core processor running at 1.86Ghz (T2390), a graphic 965 GM processor and 3GB of ram. I use KDE as desktop and was very eager to try Skritter on this laptop as my previous Linux box was an 8 year old computer on which it was not possible to use skritter because it was too slow.

The good news is that Skritter really flies on this machine, but only with Firefox 6.x Sadly, with Google Chrome I still see the old problem of the cursor 'blob' not following the mouse movements closely enough. I have flash installed. Could it be that I need to configure Chrome specially to make use of it?
I also tried with Konqueror, but I can't make it beyond the 'Study' button. Now matter how many times I press it, nothing happens, the next page doesn't even load.

That problem with the Chrome cursor will exist until enough people switch to Flash Player 10.2, at which point I can switch it to use native mouse cursors and there will be no delay.

I'm not too surprised that there is a problem with Konqueror, as we never test there.

could switch to the beta or dev channel of chrome.

Are you using chrome or chromium ?

Have to install chrome direct from google, where as the distros mostly use chromium.

Out of curiosity I tried out Konqueror on my own machine. Something pleasing about the way it scrolls smoothly, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to support much in the way of development tools that I can see, not even a javascript console to check for errors. I think this one browser is just going to have to go unsupported, since it's pretty uncommonly used and it wouldn't be trivial to support it.
