KMilo is new to KDE 3.2. +It allows plug-ins which interact with the special buttons found on +some keyboards and laptops. + +This plug-in reads the /proc/i8k file that is created by the i8k kernel +module. If this file does not exist then the plug-in will not load. + +The code in this module is heavily based on: + - the Asus Laptop plug-in for KMilo by Chris Howells (howells@kde.org) + - the Thinkpad plug-in by Jonathan Riddell (jr@jriddell.org) + +Also, for the Dell specific implementations, code was taken from the +i8kutils package of Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@debian.org> which can be +downloaded from http://www.debian.org/~dz/i8k/ + +LICENSE: + + delli8k - KMilo plug-in for special volume keys of Dell laptops + Copyright (C) 2004 Barry O'Donovan <barry.odonovan@kdemail.net> + + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify + it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by + the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or + (at your option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
