USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Installation:

From root user tpye "./install.sh".
If success, module will compile and plased into modules directory.

Usage:

modprobe i815tweak

Without any parameters nothing changes. In /proc/i815info you can see actual chipset settings.

Or see "dmesg" for error info..

For list all module parameters check "modinfo i815tweak".

cas=[2,3]
CAS# Latency (CL)

ras2cas=[2,3]
SDRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay (SRCD)

ras=[2,3]
SDRAM RAS# Precharge (SRP)

refX=[0-7]
SDRAM Mode Select (SMS). These bits select the operational mode of the MCH DRAM interface. The special modes are intended for initialization at power up.

0 = DRAM in Self-Refresh Mode, Refresh Disabled
1 = Normal Operation, 100 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 15.6 uSec
133 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 11.7 uSec
2 = Normal Operation, 100 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 7.8
133 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 5.85 uSec
3 = Normal Operation, 100 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 1.28 uSec
133 MHz System memory – Refresh interval 0.96 uSec
4 = NOP Command Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in a NOP Command on the SDRAM interface.
5 = All Banks Precharge Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in an All Banks Precharge Command on the SDRAM interface.
6 = Mode Register Set Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in a mode register set command on the SDRAM interface.
7 = CBR Enable. In this mode all processor cycles to SDRAM result in a CBR cycle on the SDRAM interface.

dct57=[0, 1]
DRAM Cycle Time (DCT). This bit controls the number of SCLKs for an access cycle.

Source Mage GNU/Linux distribution is based on a sorcerous metaphor of "casting" and "dispelling" packages, which we refer to as "spells".
This is a development ISO and potentially loaded with bugs and glitches. This is where you come in. We need your help to squash these bugs.
Please download, burn, and install this ISO to a spare partition, extra computer, or over your least favorite friends Windows partition. VMWare or bochs works too. Upon finding a glitch, please report it in bugzilla. No bug is too small, or too large.
Help shape the future of Source Mage! Download the Next Generation Testing ISO and install!
Enhancements:
- This is an updated release based on the 0.9.6 version of the ISOs.
- While it does not contain any changes in the actual installer scripts, it does have an updated set of packages/spells based on the 0.7 Stable Grimoire, including an updated version of the Linux kernel.

openSUSE KDE Tweaks are actually KDE 3.5.5 (openSUSE 10.2) patches and two RPM tools through which I have added, modified and removed some features.
I like and dislike the new kickoff menu at the same time, so I decided to change everything about it that I dont like.
Although my patches were meant to change only the new kickoff menu, I ended up changing other parts of KDE, and even writing two little apps. The results of my hacking are all here, so make good use of it.
The patch provides the following modifications:
bi-kicker:
- Changes the order of the kickoff tabs to a more logical order (in order of access frequency): Favorites, Applications, History, Leave
- Removes the IMHO useless Computer tab (can be replaced with a sysinfo icon in the Favorites tab)
- Corrects the order of Grub entries (to descending) in the "Start Operating System" submenu
- Removes the useless "Restart and boot directly into ..." comments from the Start OS submenu
- Changes the order of the Recently Used Apps to the same order as in the old menu and as in the Recent Documents list (new at top, older at bottom)
- Lower the number of days a New Application entry is kept (1 instead of 3)
- Adds an Uninstall context menu entry which calls the uninstall_rpm script with the *.desktop file as the first parameter
- Changes in the old KMenu the "Recently Used Applications" tag to just "Recently Used" and the "Most Used Applications" tag to "Most Used"
- Adds a rounded corner to the left side of the search mode
bi-kicker_noshadow:
- Everything included in bi-kicker
- Removes the shadow surrounding the menu. Useful for those who enable the nVidia composite mode (providing a cool shadow for all active windows) and would like to avoid a strange double shadow effect.
bi-kdesktop:
- Prevents the unwanted realignment of desktop icons when the Auto Align
bi-kcontrol:
- Removed the "Get New Wallpapers" button from the Desktop Configuration Dialog, because it provides unfiltered access to images that are more and more shameless
- Changes the icon of the Display option (different from the Screensaver option)
bi-krpmview:
- Adds a "Quick Install" button to the krpmview kpart which calls the install_rpm script with the *.rpm file as the first parameter
The RPM-Tools provide:
- Simple and quick solution to install an RPM + konqueror service menu
- Simple and quick solution to uninstall an RPM + konqueror service menu
- No dependency handling

PodWiki is a collaborative Web-based authoring tool written in Perl which differs from other WikiWiki tools in that it uses Perl POD as its markup language.
PodWiki by Thomas Linden uses Internal Link PerlPod as its markup, which is an established language for documentation in the Perl community and well known world wide. PodWiki enhances POD a little to circumvent some lacking features (such as images or includes).
Beside POD, it also understands a shorthand markup which writes like natural text and is very easy to understand for new users. If they need more features they have to use POD; for simple pages Internal Link WikiShorthand is enough. Internal Link WikiShorthand is the default markup if nothing is defined otherwise.
PodWiki supports includes, graphics, version control (via RCS), diffs, merge-back, user/group authentication and authorization, page property inheritance, variables, attributes and a lot more. The user can use so called "formatters" to insert plain HTML or text content, which is very useful for a stylesheet or example C code. There is also a formatter for Perl code available which makes it possible to create interactive PodWiki pages (note: for security reasons this feature is turned off by default).
The big difference from other Perl WikiEngines is that PodWiki is 100% customizable, since the whole wiki site is driven by the include feature. PodWiki always loads one page ("AutoLoad"), which includes the other stuff, such as the Header, Stylesheet, Menu, the Content-Area, Edit-Bar, Footer and so forth. This allows the user to fully modify PodWikis look-and-feel.
If you are using Apache with mod_perl you can speed up PodWiki. Its fully mod_perl compliant.
PodWiki supports Internal Link authentication by users and groups. Nevertheless it is possible to work with PodWiki unauthenticated. In this case you will be logged as user anonymous. Pages can be protected for reading and/or writing for either one or more groups or for a single user. If you dont want to be logged as anonymous: Internal Link register.
Beside all those features it is still very easy to install, no need for lots of additional Perl modules or cryptic installation procedures. Just do:
./configure & make install
The configure script understands some parameters which allows tweaking the installation such as destination path or the like.
Enhancements:
- This release was relicensed under the BSD license.
- The TWiki formatter support has been abandoned, since the module contained GPL code which is no longer compatible with podwiki.

Download Manager Tweak provides a modification of the Firefox download manager that changes its appearance.
The Download Manager Tweak extension streamlines the current Firefox download manager. The extension allows the Firefox download manager to be opened in a separate window, the sidebar, or a tab.
The extension also modifies the default appearance of the download manager to make it more concise and intuitive.
Main features:
- The download manager (DM) can now be opened in a separate window, the sidebar, or a tab.
- The toolbar can be positioned on the top or bottom of the DM window.
- The user can select which buttons should on the toolbar.
- The skin support has been fixed.
- Other minor options.

Scratchy is a set of scripts to parse Apache web server log files and extract useful information. From this data, Scratchy will create HTML reports so that website administrators can easily view the information and determine trends and their typical audience.
Scratchy began as a proof-of-concept which allowed me to compile stats about my personal website. As time progressed I continually added features and improvements and I felt that it would be useful to others.
The functionality that the project aims to supply is a complete log parsing and report generating tool. Also, there seemed to be a need for such a project in Python. I have seen some other Apache log parsers but they were developed in other languages (such as Perl, C, etc). One goal of this project is for it to be extensible, to that tune, most of the report appearance can be easily modified by tweaking a single config file.
What information does Scratchy report?
- Accessed web pages
- Hosts accessing your website
- Operating systems
- Browsers and versions
- Search engines
- Robots
- File types accessed
- Errors
- Country name lookups (if enabled).
- Charts of most data (if enabled).
- A trace of pages accessed by each ip address (if enabled).
Enhancements:
- Migration from pickled dictionaries to SQL database (MySQL)
- Deprecated gdchart in favor of ChartDirector $nbsp;
- Deprecated http country lookups in favor of GeoIP API
- Code optimizations
- Additional user agents
- Major version change - the pre 0.8 data is no longer supported. You must re-parse all logs. Sorry.
