Project Description

Powertweak-Linux is a tool to tune your system to its optimal performance settings. It started life as the replacement for the now obsolete kernel option 'tune PCI bridges', and has been extended to provide more features and support more chipsets. It can also tune network/filesystem performance using /proc/sys entries, disk elevator settings, and x86 CPU registers (needs 2.2.18 or 2.4.0test kernel), CDROM speeds, hdparm type features, and Sony VAIO backlight. It has both a GTK GUI and a text-based lister.

0.99.0

First release of a totally rewritten codebase. Internals have been rewritten to use a modular plug-in approach, and this release comes with plug-ins to tune x86 CPU registers (Needs 2.2.18 or 2.4.0test kernel), PCI registers, disk elevator settings, and /proc/sys entries. The main program may now be run as a daemon. A usable curses interface was added to accompany the rewritten GTK interface. New profiles allow the user to tell Powertweak to auto-tune depending upon what role is selected. The PCI backend uses XML descriptions, and supports more chipsets than before.
