23 This manual page documents briefly the
27 .\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
28 .\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics,
30 \fBwmthrottle\fP is a program to throttle cpu via ACPI. It is a dockapp that is supported by X window managers such as Window Maker, AfterStep, BlackBox, and
33 The top half of the app shows the 8 levels of throttling that can be selected
34 (0 = 100% CPU use). The bottom shows the current percentage of CPU allowed to be
35 used as well as a green,yellow,red indicator and graph indicator to further
36 indicate how much of the cpu is throttled.
40 This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options
41 starting with two dashes (`\-'). A summary of options is included below.
43 .B \-d, \-\-display <string>
44 Attempt to open a window on the named X display. In the absence of this option,
45 the display specified by the
47 environment variable is used.
49 .B \-bl, \-\-backlight
52 .B \-lc, \-\-light\-color <color>
53 back-light color (rgb:6E/C6/3B is default)
55 .B \-i, \-\-interval <number>
56 number of secs between updates (1 is default)
59 show help text and exit
62 show program version and exit
65 run the application in windowed mode
67 .B \-bw, \-\-broken\-wm
68 activate broken window manager fix (use this if you have problems running it in your window manager)
70 .B \-p, \-\-performance
71 use acpi performance instead of throttling
73 .B \-t, \-\-temperature
74 temperature threshold to start downclocking (to avoid fan noise)
77 temperature difference that will cause a state transition (default: 1)\n
