I’ve never really used Xpdf, but Evince (the default Gnome PDF viewer) seems to do the job without pixelating everything. Acrobat is also available for Linux somewhere on Adobe’s website. If you’ve got any particular reason for sticking to Xpdf, then I don’t think there’s much you can do. Sorry.

A Preview.app for Linux would of course be nice, but I think Evince comes closest, while still lacking certain features (like annotation).

Hey Anders

I stumble with your post, and I have the next question. Have you notice a big difference between using xpdf or acrobat and Preview?

I know in Karmic graphics have improved, but still xpdf looks very pixelated. I don’t know if you know how to fix that… ?

cheers
Felipe

Just solved, there’s an option on the touchpad tab at the mouse section which disables the touchpad when writing!

I’ve had a problem installing ubuntu 9.10 x86 or AMD64 on my macbook 2.1.

Every time I press a key the touchpad (not an external mouse) stops. Did this happen you?

Regards

No problem, melon. :) I actually found the fix somewhere on the Ubuntu forums, but I couldn’t easilly find it again, otherwise I would of course have referenced it, but that’s where the credit should really go. :)

And yeah, I noticed the better sound from the internal speakers too. Probably a combination of weird hardware layout and PulseAudio creating this odd default configuration.

Two more things:

Gnome alsa mixer: deselecting ‘mute’ checkbox under ’speaker’ fixes not only headphones (muted by default) but also unmute central speaker. Sound from Mac’s speakers is louder and “rich”.

Pommed works indeed! :)
