Here is simple script to toggle touchpad on laptop on or off

First you have to discover which device id is actually touchpad - you can do that using xinput list. There touchpad will be shown as one more mouse. Then you can update script below with touchpad's ID on your system (replace <ID> with actual number). You can bind this little script to some key to be able to easily toggle touchpad on or off.

Simply use FontMatrix tool

To disable bitmap fonts in X create symbolic link to ../conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf in /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d
# cd /usr/local/etc/fonts/conf.d
# ln -s ../conf.avail/70-no-bitmaps.conf


If X doesn't start with message similar to "Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs" and you are booting your system using UEFI you should install package drm-kmod, and make sure to load appropriate module before starting X (for example i915kms.ko), but beware that after installing package modules with same names will be present in both /boot/kernel and /boot/modules, so it is necessary to give full path to module to load (for example kldload /boot/modules/i915kms.ko).

Reason for this is application .desktop file missing MimeType specification. For example for me mplayer and thunderbird are not listed as choices for video and mail respectively. To fix this edit application's .desktop file (in /usr/local/share/applications directory, or in ~/.local/share/applications) and run update-desktop-database afterwards (with -v to show its warnings).
