Dell laptop support
CONFIG_I8K
This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode
of the CPU on the Dell Inspiron and Latitude laptops. The System
Management Mode is used to read cpu temperature, cooling fan
status and Fn-keys status on Dell laptops. It can also be used
to switch the fans on and off.
The driver has been developed and tested on an Inspiron 8000
but it should work on any Dell Inspiron or Latitude laptop.
You can force loading on unsupported models by passing the
parameter `force=1' to the module. Use at your own risk.
For more information on this driver and for utilities that make
use of the module see the I8K Linux Utilities web site at:
http://www.debian.org/~dz/i8k/
Say Y if you intend to run this kernel on a Dell laptop.
Say N otherwise.
