gkrellm-ThinkBat - a IBM Thinkpad battery monitor plugin for gkrellm2.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
gkrellm-ThinkBat is meant as a replacement for the default gkrellm battery
meter, which doesn't quite work with thinkpads sometimes.
(because of incomplete /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 information?)
It uses the IBM Thinkpad SMAPI Driver.
Features
--------
It shows battery percentage, time left (or time to full charge) and power consumption
or loading in Watts. Except for the optional time/consumption panel and
battery percentage in different font it should look the same as default battery meter.
It uses the same decals, so you need to change those (i.e. ../theme/decal_misc.png),
if you need to.
Requirements
------------
Gkrellm2,
It was tested with Gkrellm 2.3.2
Installation
------------
$ make
$ make install
this installs gkrellm-thinkbat.so to ~/.gkrellm2/plugins/. You can copy it manually
elsewhere.
Bugs
----
I needed this applet, so I looked at others, that I used (namely
gkrellm2-batteries by Eugene Pavlovsky, gkrellm-wifi by Henrik Brix Andersen,
and gkrellm-multiping by Jindrich Makovicka), and wrote it. Therefore, it may contain
hideous bugs caused by my own ignorance, as I didn't even know of the plugin writing
manuals of GkrellM.
Acknowledgements
----------------
Thanks to Ji Otisk for informing me about the hwmon alternative to tp_smapi.
