KOSD is a simple KDE program that runs in the background and responds to button presses by showing a little OSD (On Screen Display). It delegates the job of changing the volume to KMix.

Currently following actions are supported:
· Raise volume
· Lower volume
· Mute/Unmute volume
· Show volume
· Show brightness

More actions may be supported in future releases.

How to install:

./configure
make
make install (as root)

How to use:

Make sure KMix is running. Then select KOSD from your K-Menu. You can also run KOSD from the command line. Type 'kosd --help' to see what options are available.

Requirements:

· KDE 3.x
