Ebuild is here.
wmpower 0.3.0 is out:
| - | Added machine id for Satellite Pro 6000 |
| - | Added support for hardware manifatured by Compal and used by vendors such as Acer, HP, Toshiba... You probably need to patch to your kernel to enable support for this. See file README.compal for all details. Credits and a big thank you go to Francisco Rodrigo Escobedo Robles who contributed this code. |
| - | Added spec file for RPM creation, thanks (again) to Francisco Rodrigo Escobedo Robles. |
| - | Yet another /proc file to read temperature from, thanks to Masahide Matsumoto. |

| - | You can now choose which battery to monitor | ||||||
| - | Added machine id for Toshiba Libretto L2 | ||||||

wmpower 0.1.3 is out.
Ebuild is here.
Also, wmpower 0.1.2 is now in Portage tree (finally!).
wmpower 0.1.3 is out.
| - | Various code clean-ups. |
| - | Made diagnostic messages a bit less 'scary'. |
| - | Fixed a segfault when using a malformed -B option. |
| - | New feature (for Toshiba): now wmpower tries to use acpi to set lcd brightness; if this fails it tries using hardware calls. This should work for newer Toshibas, where the hardware method fails. |
| - | New feature (for Toshiba): you can now adjust lcd brightness using your mouse wheel, step by step. Notice: right now, this works only for ACPI calls. |
Ebuild is here.
