Tips & troubleshooting
NTFS Read/Write Support
Install ntfs-3g (See NTFS-3G):
No "Previous/Next Folder" functionality with mouse buttons
A method to fix this is with Xbindkeys:
Install xbindkeys:
Edit ~/.xbindkeysrc to contain the following:
# Sample .xbindkeysrc for a G9x mouse. "/usr/bin/xvkbd -text '\[Alt_L]\[Left]'" b:8 "/usr/bin/xvkbd -text '\[Alt_L]\[Right]'" b:9
Actual button codes can be obtained with xev[1].
Add
xbindkeys &
to your ~/.xinitrc to execute xbindkeys on log-in.

PCManFM-Mod adds user-definable commands, other features, and bugfixes to the legacy version of the PCManFM file manager v0.5.2. This version builds and installs as "pcmanfm-mod" and will run independently of other versions of PCManFM you have installed on your system. This legacy version is still desired by some due to more stability than the newer 0.9.x rewrite in progress, less Gnome dependencies, and the use of HAL rather than gnome-vfs. PCManFM-Mod is available in the repo:
