They are available in the usual place at > > http://www.buzzard.org.uk/toshiba/ > > The utilities avaliable are: > > fan - turn the cooling fan on/off > svpw - set the supervisor password > hotkey - report on Fn+F2/F3 and F4 changes > tpasswd - set the user password > thotswap - hotswap devices in the SelectBay > tdocked - determine docked status of laptop > alarm - select an alarm power on time > dispswitch - select internal/external/simultaneous video output on Librettos > tbacklight - turn the backlight on/off > ownerstring - change the ownerstring on the laptop > wmtuxtime - WindowMaker power save applet (can be run under GNONE/KDE/...) > > This release is basically bug fixes, but it is worth updating. I have > removed the kernel module from the utilities because there are too many > problems with people trying to compile with the wrong kernel headers, > unsuitable versions of gcc etc. As the module has been part of the > stable kernels since 2.2.17 you can use those. If you are using an older > kernel you will need to use the version from 1.9.10. > > It should be noted that these utilities do not work on Satellite 1500, > 1600 and 1700 series machines and the Satellite 35DVD. The reason is > that these have Phenoix BIOS'es rather than Toshiba ones. It is very > unlikely that these models will ever be supported by the utilities. > > The plans for the next stable release are a GNOME panel applet, hibernation > support and CD/DVD Network dock support for Portages. Though not necessarily > in that order. > > For those that have bugged me in the past for a fan program for Windows, > I have done a port to Windows 98/ME/NT/2000. See the web pages for > more details. Note it is a shareware application so please register if you > use it. All monies raised will be ploughed back into the Linux utilities. > > JAB. > > -- > Jonathan A. Buzzard Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Northumberland, United Kingdom.
