I prepared new versions of three dockapps: wmSun, wminfo, and wmpower as well as the suitable SlackBuild scripts accessible on my website.

As for the wmpower dockapp Robby Workman rejected my SlackBuild for the former wmpower 0.4.3 version because it won’t build on x86_64 systems. As a result wmpower disappeared from SlackBuilds.org. Unfortunately I can’t customize new wmpower 0.5.0 version to build on such systems because I still use x86_32 system.

If you use dockapps, have x86_64 system, would improve the source code of wmpower, and are willing to share your work with the others, send me the patched version of wmpower and I’ll include you in THANKS file.

As I described that in NEWS file I tested wmpower on IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads, Dell XPS, Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo, Toshiba Satellite, and HP Omnibook laptops. As for IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads wmpower works perfect because these are machines I own so I had the opportunity to test and improve the program. As for Dell XPS the user have to run modprobe i8k force=1 command before running wmpower and then the program works perfect. As for Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo it doesn’t provide the information about fans number and CPU temperature or I was unable to force it to do it. As for Toshiba Satellite and HP Omnibook both these machines don’t provide such information too but probably they should provide it after the installation of omnibook Linux kernel module:

I hadn’t the opportunity to test precisely wmpower on Fujitsu-Siemens, Toshiba, and Dell laptops as well as I hadn’t the opportunity to test it on the other laptops than mentioned above. So if you installed wmpower and it works on your laptop perfect, works partially, or doesn’t work at all it’s valuable information for me.
