Hi,
thanks a lot Christopher, it was exactly a tool like
that I
was searching :) I have found gmidimon that is less
powerful than kmidimon but it doesn't need to have gnome
installed (kmidimon seems to need kde to be installed on
gentoo) and it gives me the info I need.
yes, it requires KDE, but who cares if KDE is already
installed - especially when using Gentoo, because compile
times matter ;-) !
Best regards
ce
