Description

Asus G50 OLED is a Java daemon that displays system monitoring information on the small (256x32) OLED display found on ASUS G50/G70/G71 (USB ID: 0b05:175b). It also works for ASUS G1/G2 (128x32 / USB ID: 0b05:1726).

Display is showing:

- Load on the machine - CPU usage (User / System / IOWait / Idle) - Total traffic IN / OUT on all interfaces - Battery level - Current time and date - Current operating frequencies for each core - HDD temperature (from smartctl) - CPU temperature - Message notifications from Kopete and Thunderbird - What's playing in Amarok or Kaffeine - Snapshot from ASUS G1

You can re-arrange the layout as you like by changing the positions, enabling/disabling each module or write your own modules that can do any fancy monitoring you like.

Requirements:

* Linux. Here you can find out how to install Ubuntu on this notebook: http://monalisa.cern.ch/blog/2008/09/16/ubuntu-on-asus-g50v/. Windows is not supported (yet?). * Latest version of the asus_oled driver. 2.6.29-rc1+ has the driver in the staging section, so just select CONFIG_ASUS_OLED. For an earlier kernel (

What's new in ASUS G50 OLED 1.0.4:

When paused (notification from ACPI that the lid is closed), check if the lid state is still "closed" and if not resume without waiting for the notification to come. This should fix the apparent hanging when resuming from a suspend to ram triggered by lid closing.
Added GPUTemperature module, using nvclock to get the info. By default this module is not enabled in the config since nvclock is quite heavy (0.3 cpu seconds/call)
Added BatteryStatus module. Please update your config.properties too!
Fix startup script on Ubuntu when /bin/sh -> /bin/dash
