Information on Tools helping you to get along with your Thinkpad.
Contents
Input
- tpb (Thinkpad buttons)
- tp-scroll (Use trackpoint and middle button to scroll vertically. You may also use the built-in EmulateWheel option in both XFree86 and XOrg.)
- configure-trackpoint (GUI TrackPoint configuration tool for the TrackPoint driver for 2.6 linux kernel)
- Linux Trackpoint Utilities (An earlier trackpoint configuration tool)
Graphics
- radeontool (Tool for enabling/disabling background light and external video)
- atitvout (Tool to control TV out)
- rovclock (Tool to under/overclock Radeon cards)
- s3switch (Tool to change the output devices and format for Savage cards)
Power Management
- apmd (APM event daemon and tools)
- tpctl and configure-thinkpad (ThinkPad configuration programs that are compatible with APM)
- acpid (ACPI event daemon)
- acpitool (displays acpi information and can be used to set sleep mode)
- tphdisk (Tool to create a hibernation file, an alternative to the Software Suspend 2 kernel patch)
- laptop-mode-tools (laptop-mode configuration scripts)
- KThinkBat (KDE-Kicker applet to show the battery fuel state)
Networking
- ifplugd (Daemon to reconfigure your network settings on cable (un)plugging)
- waproamd (Daemon for Wireless roaming with automatic WEP key handling)
- Wpa_supplicant (waproamd's successor, can handle WPA)
