[...] And now for others having same problem. Just when I thought I will give up, I found this site: http://www.alanbriolat.co.uk/2009/03…-intrepid-810/ Apparently, pulseaudio is too user- and session-centric. After performing steps mentioned in this [...]

Comment on Tpl – A tiny PHP template engine by Alan Briolat

A comparison of PHP template engines in terms of performance is interesting idea, but in order to benchmark so many engines the feature set tested is disappointingly small. In the case of Tpl, there is very little that it does beyond what PHP itself is capable of, and the most important feature is not part of the benchmark.

Django syntax is nice, Twig is definitely the best Django for PHP, but also the Smarty syntax is very nice, the best are RainTPL, Dwoo and obviosly Smarty, here a good benchmark with all together:

you can also download the benchmark and test your template engine, you might be faster than that

Comment on Remapping Mouse Buttons on Ubuntu Lucid by Alan Briolat

Mine isn't so minimal – it's generated by the AMD Catalyst tool – but it has nothing referring to any input devices. There are however other files in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ that do contain Driver “evdev”, but as far as I'm aware they're there by default…

I really wonder why you don't need the driver line, do you already have a mouse section in your xorg.conf ? Mine is really minimal.
I'm also perplex about this matching as the keyboard goes with exactly the same name than the mouse…
There's this option too : MatchIsPointer “on”
it may be useful for some others…

Strange that we should have different results with the same method on the same version of Xorg, but your solution is more explicit and probably more correct.

That's a coincidence, I just bought the same mouse, coming in the bundle cordless wave pro, and after a few days I started to be pissed off with the middle click that often drives into scrollwheel actions…
So I had the very similar idea that the “hidden button” under the thumb should do quite the trick. But I was suspicious about this solution as it'd been told hal and udev were cleaner solutions. So my forums digs conducted me to this xorg snippet thing that is the last hope for Lucid xorg tweaks… kind of a regression !
So I post here my solution as yours totally disabled all my inputs… arguing a driver is missing

Section “InputClass”
Identifier “Logitech MX1100 button remap”
MatchProduct “Logitech USB Receiver”
MatchDevicePath “/dev/input/event*”
Driver “evdev”
Option “ButtonMapping” “1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2″

Comment on Enable Bitmap Fonts on Ubuntu Jaunty by Andreas L.

This is of course just fine on self-administered systems.

I’m just curious whether there’d also be a way for users to enable bitmap-fonts (for their X11-clients) without root privileges.
