Hi,
I'm using DragonFlyBSD for a few weeks now on my notebook an miss some pieces
of software:
1. CPU speed control for Pentium-M (Enhanced SpeedStep driver)
FreeBSD has tools for that: sysutils/est and sysutils/estrcl
2. A module for better synaptics touchpad support
My touchpad works, but from Linux I'm used to do vertical scrolling with the
right border of my touchpad, like a mouse scroll-wheel. The source code is
available here: http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/
3. A battery tool for KDE
gkrellm is available, but as a KDE user I would like to see something, that
fits better in the KDE desktop. The DesktopBSD guys have created a nice tool
for that:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/sysutils/desktopbsd-tools .
There's also a tool in KDE's svn repository:
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdenonbeta/kbatterymonitor/
May be some devs have a little spare time and could port (some of) this tools
to DragonFlyBSD. I (and other notebook users) would really appreciate
that ;-)
Thanks
Thomas
