Introduction
LaptopControlPanel is a Python module that provides a Graphical Control Panel for Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop and a console tool to monitor and manage the battery. Such functions are not provided by standard control panels like those of the KDE desktop.
The source code is licensed under GPL V3.
The control panel features:
switch on/off network interfaces (wifi and bluetooth)
switch on/off Nvidia GPU using /proc/acpi/bbswitch
fan control using thinkpad-acpi module and /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
battery control through ACPI calls
The battery management tool permits:
to set the start and stop capacity threshold to charge the battery,
to switch on battery when AC power is plugged,
to setup a “peak shift” procedure.
Some usages of these functions are:
to switch off the Nvidia GPU to save battery
to speed-up the fan to cool the hard drive located under the left hand
The source of the ACPI calls for the battery management is unknown and comes from the repository tpacpi-bat. For reference, this discussion Laptop shock detection and harddisk protection on LKML illustrates the legal concern for such information.
The battery is managed by ACPI calls through the Low Pin Count bus and the Embedded Controller (ASL base is \_SB.PCI0.LPC.EC.HKEY). ACPI is an abstraction layer to set and get registers on the computer busses. The (acpi_call) module, which is not included in the kernel, is required to perform these calls. This module must be used carefully.
