Yep, I did that just after mutt quitting. If someone could tell me
why those values... are e0 00-8f scancodes binded to 129-255 under
XFree86 ? (Not important, but just to increase my poor knowledge)

Did you use my patch ? I think that Jeff Garzik would appreciate
to have a proof that it still works on i8000 ;-)

Then now you should download i8kutils-1.1 from :
	http://people.debian.org/~dz/i8k/
Marcello's utils are just what you are looking for now.
in fact, i8kbuttons.c will enable volume controll, i8kmon will
display a very usefull fans status (and *YES* ! you can start them
with a click :-)).

Just a little hint for i8kbuttons :
I suggest that you run :
./i8kbuttons --up "aumix -v +5" --down "aumix -v -5"

default bindings do not work, they are Massimo's aliases :-)


I use both tools since yesterday... and I watched a DVD just for
that occasion (I hate * and / in mplayer ;-)

Finally, as I told Massimo this morning, I just *love* to start my
fans just to here the little noise and see the proc temp decreasing.
(try a cat /dev/zero to increase quickly your cpu temp and enjoy !)


I think you'll appreciate those tools...
I can imagine your joy, I'm just thinking to me yesterday evening ;-)


Stephane.
