i8kkmon Version 0.1
-------------------
My Configuration is :

Hardware :
     Dell Inspirion 8000
     Bios Version A21
Software :
     SuSE Linux 8.1
     KDE 3.0.4
     i8kutils 1.21

If you are owner of a supportet Dell Laptop
you have to install first the i8kutils.

You can find them under :
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/i8kutils/
  or older one are to find under
http://www.debian.org/~dz/i8k/

The Kernelmodule i8k must be loaded to get Information into the applet.

Especialy for SuSE 8.1 Users !!

In the Standardkernel there is a module i8k, you can try them.
But my experience on my Laptop is that this module is not working.

You have to remove the module /lib/modules/2.4.19-4GB/kernel/drivers/char/i8k.o

After compile and install the module an perhaps the utilitys to.
For compiling the module, you have to install the Kernelsources, but you
must not patch the kernel.

Read the README file witch is included by the i8kutils !
