Kernel module drivers
applesmc
The applesmc module allows to monitor the temperature on Macmini terminals and set/get the fan speed in order to control the temperature.
The rpm available at Bashlinux repository includes the kernel module for CentOS and a service daemon which is monitoring the temperature and setting the fan speed.
To get the module working install the rpm from repository:
# yum -y install applesmc-utils
drm
The drm module avilable at Bashlinux repo has been modified in order to create dri device for AGP card on CX700M2 chipset.
tpm
The tpm module available at Bashlinux has been build from sources to setup the TPM chipset on Dell servers.
To build the module is necessary to enable it on kernel, one way to get this done is going to the kernel source folder, usually `/usr/src/linux` then run the config utility. Useful Information Please note that `ncurses-devel` must be installed to get menuconfig running.
# cd /usr/local/src # make menuconfig
Select the TPM device driver under _Device Drivers > Character devices > TPM devices_, save the configuration and build the kernel modules.
# make modules
usblp
The current usblp module at uWink has been modified in order to create a usblp device for USB printer Epson M129 series.
The patch is based on kernel 2.6.21

kbde
Keyboard emulation is done by installing kbde-driver, it will read all the keystokes send to `/dev/kbde`. There is also a package that convert ascii char to keystroke.
To have both on system just install the proper RPMs:
yum -y install kbde-driver kbde
