How many colours are you using?
I am one of the people who's using NetSurf on a Beagleboard, image quality is
set at Error diffused and Dithered, BUT...

I have to use 256 or 16 M colours.

If I dare to use 32 k colours, as soon as Netsurf has to redraw some graphics,
I'm getting an errorbox which tells me "NetSurf has detected a serious error
and must exit."

Maybe you can give that a try.
