Dell Laptop Buttons Plug-in for KMilo
Barry O'Donovan mail@barryodonovan.com, November 2004
http://www.barryodonovan.com/
KMilo is a service for kded, the KDE daemon. KMilo is new to KDE 3.2.
It allows plug-ins which interact with the special buttons found on
some keyboards and laptops.
This plug-in reads the /proc/i8k file that is created by the i8k kernel
module. If this file does not exist then the plug-in will not load.
The code in this module is heavily based on:
- the Asus Laptop plug-in for KMilo by Chris Howells (howells@kde.org)
- the Thinkpad plug-in by Jonathan Riddell (jr@jriddell.org)
Also, for the Dell specific implementations, code was taken from the
i8kutils package of Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@debian.org> which can be
downloaded from http://www.debian.org/~dz/i8k/

COMPATIBILITY:
This plug-in should work on any Linux distribution that has the i8k module
loaded or compiled into the kernel. Compatibility is really dependant on
the i8kutils package of Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@debian.org> which can be
downloaded from http://www.debian.org/~dz/i8k/. Currently (20041122), this
should support:
Inspiron 1100 (BIOS A06), one fan, no buttons
Inspiron 2650 (BIOS A05)
Inspiron 3700 (BIOS A15), no fan speed
Inspiron 3800 (BIOS A14), no fan speed
Inspiron 4000 (BIOS A10), no fan speed
Inspiron 4100
Inspiron 4150
Inspiron 5100 (BIOS A06), one fan, no buttons
Inspiron 5150 (BIOS A24), one fan, no buttons
Inspiron 8000 (BIOS A17)
Inspiron 8100 (BIOS A04)
Inspiron 8200 (BIOS A06)

Latitude CPx J750GT (BIOS A13), no fan speed
Latitude D600 (BIOS A05)

That driver seems *NOT WORKING* on the following models:
Inspiron 2500 (BIOS A10)
Inspiron 3200
Inspiron 3500
Inspiron 5000e (BIOS A06)
Inspiron 5150 (BIOS A23)
