To remove the very annoying feature; open about:config in a new tab, and change the value middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false.

Ubuntu 9.04, two screen, but still one taskbar, and tasktray….

Solution: Right click on a bar, add New Panel, add New Panel, etc,… as many time as needed to reach the other screen. Remove the usless extra one.

Right click add to Panel on the new taskbar: Window Selector.

Reorganize all you applet, sound etc…

Now you’ve got a wonderful one meter long desktop, with taskbar linked to the display desktop.

Dual monitor (HDMI and DVI, two LG22W) on Acer X1700 seems to be a problem with the open source drivers.

To get them working (extended desktop, not mirror) just follow the guide:

1. Run the following commands:
   Code:

   wget --no-check-certificate https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run
   chmod 755 ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run
   sudo ./ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run --buildandinstallpkg Ubuntu/9.04
   sudo aticonfig --initial -f

2. Reboot the system
3. Use System > Preferences > Display to detach the monitors from each other, and set the proper resolution
4. Log out, and back into the system

Seems to be an issue with this mouse since the version 9.04: even though gnome bluetooth interface can scan the device, the paring is not done.
Solution: install backward compat packages:

sudo apt-get install bluez-compat

Then put your mouse in paring mode and:

sudo hidd -s

Since Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid, no need to compile, juste type:

sudo apt-get install convlit

Usage:

clit crippled-book.lit ./free_html_folder/

Enjoy

sudo apt-get install convtlit

Usage:

clit crippled-book.lit ./free_html_folder/

Enjoy
Upcoming: nautilus script to convert to pdf

sudo apt-get install bluefish

much better!
