wmpower is a Window Maker dock application allowing the user to
graphically see (and set) the power management status of his laptop.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Features:
- It works;
- Battery status display (you choose the battery);
- Both APM and ACPI kernels are supported;
- On ACPI kernels you get fan status and a thermal sensor;
- Direct access to Toshiba hardware: you get fan status
  and LCD brightness management even without an APCI kernel;
- While on battery, it can stop your fan, HD to make the battery last
  longer; if you have a Toshiba laptop, it can also adjust your LCD
  brightness;
- Fast battery charge mode: you can keep 'on battery' settings until
  your battery reaches 100%: this will make it recharge much faster;
- no-meddling option: if you want the program to display power
  manamenegt status, but not to take any action;
- On Toshiba laptops you can use your mouse wheel to adjust the
  brightness of your LCD screen;
- Support for IBM/Lenovo laptops for temperature value and fan speed;
- Support for Dell laptops for temperature value and fans number (Dell
  users have to run ``modprobe i8k force=1'' command before running
  wmpower);
- Support for Compal hardware (see README.compal);
- CPU frequency scaling support.

Usage:
Just type 'wmpower' in a shell...
Type 'wmpower -h' to see all available options.
Obviously it needs a running X-Server to work.
