INTRODUCTION

This Javascript applet allows for controlling and monitoring the power management mode and temperature of AMD/ATI graphics cards.

It only works with the free Xorg radeon driver and requires at least a 2.6.35 kernel.

It does NOT work with the proprietary fglrx driver.

thinkpad W500 with radeon video:
use kernel option in grub to disable KMS
radeon.modeset=0
