- This adds a driver to safely access the System Management Mode
- of the CPU on the Dell Inspiron 8000. The System Management Mode
- is used to read cpu temperature and cooling fan status and to
- control the fans on the I8K portables.
+ This option enables legacy /proc/i8k userspace interface in hwmon
+ dell-smm-hwmon driver. Character file /proc/i8k reports bios version,
+ temperature and allows controlling fan speeds of Dell laptops via
+ System Management Mode. For old Dell laptops (like Dell Inspiron 8000)
+ it reports also power and hotkey status. For fan speed control is
+ needed userspace package i8kutils.
- This driver has been tested only on the Inspiron 8000 but it may
- also work with other Dell laptops. You can force loading on other
- models by passing the parameter `force=1' to the module. Use at
- your own risk.
-
- For information on utilities to make use of this driver see the
- I8K Linux utilities web site at:
- <http://people.debian.org/~dz/i8k/>
