This is a collection of utilities to control Dell Inspiron and
|
|
Latitude laptops. It includes programs to turn the fan on and off,
|
|
to read fan status, CPU temperature, BIOS version and to handle the
|
|
volume buttons and Fn-keys. The package includes also a small Tk
|
|
applet, designed to be swallowed in the GNOME panel, which monitors
|
|
the CPU temperature and controls automatically the fans accordingly
|
|
to user defined thresholds.
|
|
|
|
Make sure the i8k module is loaded before using i8kutils.
|
|
|
|
- i8kutils tarball includes a diagnostic utility named smm, claimed
|
|
to be dangerous by the developer (see comments at the top of smm
|
|
source file, smm.c). Compilation of smm is therefore disabled by
|
|
default; set the variable SMM=yes to enable it, e.g.
|
|
# SMM=yes ./i8kutils.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
Mind also that compilation of smm should fail on Slackware64, but
|
|
the SlackBuild will try anyway. smm can damage your data and your
|
|
hardware, so be careful and use it only if you know what you're doing.
