Odi's astoundingly incomplete notes

I have added a section on that to my MacBook Pro page. Also the kernel config has been updated accordingly.

Since a GTK upgrade the Apple-Key on my MacBook Pro wasn't working in Firefox anymore. This is apparently a configuration bug, which is very easy to fix fortunately. Just tweak your .Xmodmap and add: clear mod4
I have updated my MacBook Pro page with this.

There is a new article. It shows how you can build a dynamic client-side HTML navigation whose structure is defined in a separate XML file. This greatly simplifies maintenance of small static web sites.

After some careful research in the kernel sources and xorg documentation I got my Bluetooth Mighty Mouse working correctly under Linux. The scroll ball now behaves correctly in all directions. Also xorg doesn't loose the device any longer if the mouse decides to go stand-by. The trick is to use the xorg evdev driver. See my MacBook page for details and my xorg.conf.

I have updated the udev rules for the MightyMouse so it works correctly in reporting mode, and for the iPod.

I have written a new article about Date and time in Java. Some of paragraphs are not optimal yet and I'll improve them sooner or later.

I have updated the acpi-power and s2ram scripts. Now suspend to RAM works fine. There was a small bug when logging out of KDE that told KDE to shutdown the machine. Also the s2ram script didn't work when called from acpid due to environment variables.
