Choosing one of the profiles will automatically put cpufreqd in manual mode. You can use "Select dynamically" option from the menu to return back to the dynamic scaling. Please don't forget to enable cpufreqd remote controlling in cpufreqd.conf (enable_remote=1) and give enough permissions to cpufreqd socket ("remote_group" option in cpufreqd.conf, see man pages for details). -Known limitations: - - cpufreqd should be started before Kima (it's not a problem when you do everything from your startup scripts) - - Since cpufreqd does not provide means to detect its current mode (manual/dynamic), in rare cases "Select dynamically" check can be inconsistent with the real daemon state. This is inconvenient but does not affect program functionality. +If you wish to contribute to Kima, you might do so: +- TDE Gitea Workspace (TGW) collaboration tool. + https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea -NVidia thermal source notes: -============================ -By default the nvidia-settings tool is used to obtain the GPU temperature. The configure switch "-with-nvcontrol=/absolute/path/to/libnvcontrol-dir" can be used to increase Kimas performance. Using this switch the libXNVCtrl.a gets statically compiled/linked into libkima.so and is used to query the temperature(s) of your NVidia card. The most recent nvidia-settings sourcecode can be downloaded from: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings. Here is an usage example: - ./configure --prefix=$(tde-config --prefix) --with-nvcontrol=/home/$USER/nvidia-settings-1.0/src/libXNVCtrl -
