(I use it mainly for controlling volume) If you use only the 18k.ko module, then you will get a /proc/i8k file cat /proc/i8k 1.0 A09 CXXXXXX 38 -22 1 27660 68280 -1 2 That's what it gives you. Bios=A09 CXXXX = My Dell Tag 38=temp etc..etc.. ( i think u already know that) I use gkrellm which uses the i8k file to poll temperature and fan speed. > > $ locate i8k > /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.435/kernel/drivers/char/i8k.ko > /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.427/kernel/drivers/char/i8k.ko Well depending on which kernel u're using, try /sbin/modprobe i8k force=1 as in _right_now_ (hummed to the tune of fatboy slim's Right Here..Right Now.. dum de dum..) > so I'm not sure if I need the i8kutils package or whether that is now > included with the current kernel.

(to a fault anyway) Seems like dri works too. :-) No extensive testing.. but... oh.. But dunno why, it hangs up on Mysql shutdown, once that's brought down, it's A-OK S3 still Sucks
