NAME

       armada-backlight - Adjust Compaq Armada backlight

SYNOPSIS

	 armada-backlight [-h|--help] [[+-]value]

DESCRIPTION

       Values:

	  None	 Prints the current brightness level to stdout.
	  +	 Increases the brightness of the backlight.
	  -	 Decreases the brightness of the backlight.
	  value  Sets the brightness of the backlight. Value must be between 0 and
		 8, inclusive.

       The Armada Backlight Controller is a program for controlling the brightness of the LCD backlight on Compaq Armada[1] laptops under Linux.
       It has been tested on an Armada M700 running. It is based on code by George Acher[2], which was written for the M300 and has been used on
       the E500. This package should also work on those machines, although that has not been tested by Nat Pryce, who put the modified package
       together.

       The program is divided into two parts:

	1. A command-line program that is installed with privileges that
	   allow it to control the backlight hardware (aka an "suid" program).

	2. A GNOME panel applet that provides a convenient GUI to the
	   command-line program.

       An alternative way of using the command-line program is to configure your X window manager to run it in response to key sequences such as
       Alt-F10 to make the screen brighter and Alt-Shift-F10 to make the screen dimmer (in Compaq Armada, the F10 key has a brightness icon on
       it).

       GNOME Panel Applet

       The Armada Backlight Controller applet is installed into the Utility category of the GNOME Applets menu.

       [menu.png]

       When added to the panel, the applet presents a scrollbar that can be used to interactively control the brightness of the backlight and also
       shows the current level numerically. The icon identifies the applet in the panel and can be used to access the applet menu using the right
       mouse button.

NAME

       sshmenu - GNOME applet for connecting to hosts using SSH.

DESCRIPTION

       The  SSHMenu  applet  puts  all your most frequently used SSH connections on a handy menu in your GNOME panel (see below for non-GNOME ver-
       sions.  Click on a host name to open a new gnome-terminal window with an ssh connection to the selected host.  Set up SSH options (such	as
       port forwarding etc) and select a gnome terminal profile (for colour schemes, font sizes etc) using the preferences dialog.

       Add the applet to a GNOME panel in the normal way: right click on the panel, select 'Add to Panel' and then select the SSH Menu Applet from
       the list.

       Configure the applet using the 'Preferences' option on the applet menu.

STANDALONE VERSIONS

       The SSHMenu application uses the GTK GUI toolkit but is not dependent on the GNOME desktop environment.	Two  alternative  wrapper  scripts
       are provided:

       sshmenu-gnome  -  provides  all	the functionality of the SSHMenu applet but in a standalone application window that could (for example) be
       swallowed into the panel of an alternative desktop environment.

       sshmenu - provides similar functionality to sshmenu-gnome, but without any GNOME dependencies.  Notably, xterm is used  instead	of  gnome-
       terminal.

       The Hacker's Guide ( http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/dev/hackers_guide.html ) describes a number of ways in which the SSHMenu can be further
       customised.

OPTIONS

       The applet is not invoked from the command-line however the standalone versions recognise the following options	and  can  be  extended	to
       recognise more:

       -c FILE, --config-file FILE
	      read and write config information to FILE instead of the default $HOME/.sshmenu

       -d NUM, --debug NUM
	      set debug level to NUM (default: 0)

       -s NUM, --socket-window-id NUM
	      use  the	XEmbed	protocol  to embed the SSHMenu user interface in the window identified by NUM instead of creating a new, top-level
	      window,

       -V, --version
	      output version information and exit
