Termal sensors provided by hddtemp daemon:
==========================================
Make sure hddtemp runs on 127.0.0.1 port 7634 before kima starts.
CPU Frequency Daemon Notes:
===========================
If you have cpufreqd configured and running on your machine, Kima will
provide a sub-menu called "Performance Profiles" where you can choose
one of the preconfigured profiles for cpufreqd.
Choosing one of the profiles will automatically put cpufreqd in manual
mode.
You can use "Select dynamically" option from the menu to return back to
the dynamic scaling.
Please don't forget to enable cpufreqd remote controlling in
cpufreqd.conf (enable_remote=1) and give enough permissions to cpufreqd
socket ("remote_group" option in cpufreqd.conf, see man pages for details).
Known limitations:
- cpufreqd should be started before Kima (it's not a problem when you
do everything from your startup scripts)
- Since cpufreqd does not provide means to detect its current mode
(manual/dynamic), in rare cases "Select dynamically" check can be
inconsistent with the real daemon state. This is inconvenient but
does not affect program functionality.
NVidia thermal source notes:
============================
By default the nvidia-settings tool is used to obtain the GPU temperature.
The configure switch "-with-nvcontrol=/absolute/path/to/libnvcontrol-dir"
can be used to increase Kimas performance.
Using this switch the libXNVCtrl.a gets statically compiled/linked into
libkima.so and is used to query the temperature(s) of your NVidia card.
The most recent nvidia-settings sourcecode can be downloaded
from: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings.
Here is an usage example:
./configure --prefix=$(tde-config --prefix) --with-nvcontrol=/home/$USER/nvidia-settings-1.0/src/libXNVCtrl
