Adobe Acrobat Reader problem

This time I've run into a problem with Acrobat Reader. Once it had been installed, it keeps printing "expr: syntax error" in console.

To fix it, in acroread (/usr/bin/acroread) change line 418

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

to

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

and line 644:

MIN_GTK_VERSION="240"

to

MIN_GTK_VERSION="2040"

Aside of it, you can use
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/install_browser_plugin
to install a plugin for a browser.

nvidia linux driver 2629 problem with NV2x cards

Nvidia released a new 9629 driver. Unfortunately it does not work with NV2x cards. As a proud owner of GeForce3, I've lost half a day trying to get it working. Hope they will it in a next release.

9626 beta works fine (up to a black window problem).

Focus stealing and KDVI inverse search

KDVI is a nice program, which can do an "inverse search", i.e. by doing a middle-click on a text it will throw you to that text position in your Latex editor (I'm using Kile for example). By default, KDE prevent Kile from popping up in front of KDVI, which sucks and really bugs me. Fortunately there is a way to fix this behavior:

In KDE Control Center find Desktop/Window-Specific Settings.
There add a new setting (detecting Kile window as the whole application).
In Workarounds tab select "Focus stealing prevention": "Force", "None"

It'll do the trick :-)

P.S. Can't figure out how to do the same in beryl :-(
