tpctl 4.15-1 (i386 binary) in ubuntu hoary
IBM ThinkPad hardware configuration tools
This package contains the ThinkPad Configuration Tools for Linux --
programs for configuring hardware components in IBM ThinkPad laptop
computers. Install this package if and only if your system is an
IBM ThinkPad.
.
The main tpctl program, along with its ncurses variant ntpctl, does
under Linux some of the things that PS2.EXE does under DOS and the
ThinkPad Configuration program does under Windows. The apmiser
daemon is an intelligent power expenditure controller.
.
The programs in the package require some thinkpad driver modules
package, version 4.0 or later, compatible with the kernel you are
running. If there is no such package in the Debian archive, you
can build one from the thinkpad-source package using the make-kpkg
utility. See the README in the thinkpad-base package for more
information.
.
Ideally tpctl would Depend on the thinkpad4-modules virtual package
and not just Recommend it because tpctl does need thinkpad driver
modules in order to do anything useful. However, because there is
currently no driver modules package in the Debian archive, such a
dependency would make tpctl "uninstallable".
