If anyone out there is interested in joining our band of merry men, please contact me by either emailing me directly or by responding to this post. For the foreseeable future the KLUG will continue to use the kingston.os.linux newsgroup and email for communications. Please monitor that newsgroup for more information. At some point in the future, when membership increases, a mailing list may be set up to simplify communications.

Note that new versions are released very often, usually at least once a week. By the time you read this, a new version may already be available at http://www.netroedge.com/~lm78. lm_sensors is a collection of Linux kernel modules for 2.0 and 2.1 (and the upcoming 2.2) kernels. It provides access to the hardware monitoring devices which are available on almost all newer (read: less than a year old) mainboards. These sensors report the currently measured voltage levels, temperatures and fan rotation speeds, as well as some less important things. The modules currently support the LM78, LM78-J, LM79, LM80, W83781D and GL518SM chips. These chips can be accessed both through the ISA bus and through the System Management Bus, commonly called SMBus. More chips will be supported in the near future. SMBus is a protocol that runs over the I2C (pronounce: I square C) bus. lm_sensors version 2 is built upon Simon Vogl's I2C kernel modules, which means that it supports any bus type that is supported by that package. This includes the VIA chipset southbridge, a chipset used on many non-Intel mainboards. There is also a native (non-I2C) driver for the Intel PIIX4(E) in the lm_sensors package. Sensor readings are exported to user-space through the /proc and sysctl interfaces. As these tend to be a bit hard for humans to read (though they are ideal for programs), a sample program is included which pretty prints all sensor data. Because different mainboard can use the same sensor chip in different ways, version 2 of lm_sensors implements a configuration file which can be used to describe this. This file will be automatically read by all applications which are linked to the included library. An example program illustrates how this can be done. If you have used version 1.x.y in the past, you will see that a lot has changed since then. We still call the current 2.1.0 version beta, but it seems at least as stable as the 1.x.y versions. Below you can find the LSM entry. Please contact the developers (Frodo Looijaard and Philip Edelbrock) through the developers mailing list at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if you have questions, suggestions, problems or patches. Or even if you just want to tell us it worked for you! Happy new year, Frodo Begin3 Title: lm_sensors Version: 2.1.0 Entered-date: 29DEC98 Description: Hardware health monitoring package for Linux. It consists of kernel modules to access sensor chips and SMBus hardware, of a library to allow applications to read this data more easily, and of an example program to pretty print this data. LM78, LM79, LM80, W83781D and GL518SM sensor chips are supported, among others. PIIX4 and VIA chipset SMBus implementations are supported, as well as many I2C busses. Version 2 is a complete non-compatible modular rewrite of this package, with full I2C and SMBus support.

What is it ? ============ This is a utility, released under the GPL, that generates pink noise and binaural tones (to /dev/dsp) in real-time according to a 24-hour programmed sequence read from a file. It can also be used to play a sequence on demand, rather than according to the clock. It is ideal for anyone who wishes to experiment with binaural beats for them- selves, without using the commercially available tapes or courses. The theory behind binaural beats is that by applying slightly different frequency sine waves to each ear, a beating affect is created in the brain itself, due to the brain's internal wiring. If, in the presence of these tones, you relax and let your mind go, your mind will naturally synchronize with the beat frequency. In this way it is possible to tune the frequency of your brain waves to particular frequencies that you have selected, working with the four bands: Delta, Theta, Alpha and Beta. I am using the utility to experiment with my own brain waves, to understand better how I've been using my brain all these years, and discover more of my own potential. More advanced uses of binaural beats that I've heard about include using it to support lucid dreaming, out-of-body stuff, and things even stranger than that. USE AND EXPERIMENT AT YOUR OWN RISK !

Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1999 02:10:52 GMT Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] =====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE===== The Accelerated-X Server version 4.1.2 is now available for Linux on DEC/Compaq Alpha processors. It is available via resellers or directly from Xi Graphics. The supported distribution is Red Hat 5.2 for Alpha processors. Both the 21064 and 21164 processors are supported but Xi Graphics strongly recommends the 21164 for best speed with Accelerated-X. A minimum of 32MB system memory is recommended with best speeds developed on a system with 64MB system memory or more. Benchmark test results using the Xmark benchmark indicate that Accelerated-X on an Alpha processor is relatively faster than other X Servers available for the Alpha, just as with the Intel processor version. For example, in 24bpp on a Matrox Millennium II PCI with a 366MHz Alpha processor, Accelerated-X achieves 19 Xmarks while MetroX achieves 14 Xmarks. On a 3Dlabs Permedia 2 board, Accelerated-X achieves 12 Xmarks, MetroX achieves 9 Xmarks and XFree86 3.3.3 achieves 6 Xmarks. Other benchmark results are available form the Xi Graphics web site http://www.xig.com . Like the Intel processor edition, Accelerated-X for Alpha processors offers hardware graphical acceleration in all color depths, overlays on capable hardware, hardware gamma color correction and software white point color temperature correction factors, more than twenty different international keyboard mappings and dynamically loaded drivers, renderers and extensions. Free updates will be available from the Xi Graphics Anon-FTP site to provide support for new graphics hardware. Priced at US$149.95 the Server is available now on CD-ROM.
