Overview

my-x200 is a simple script primarily designed to make the distinctive whining noise of Thinkpads X200 disappear. But it can also be used on other laptops.

It is written to be used on Devuan GNU+Linux but it should work on other Debian-based distributions.

Installation

+
    +
  1. Clone this repository locally.
    2. +
  2. Do make debian.
    3. +
  3. Install the generated my-x200 .deb package as root with dpkg -i.
    4. +
  4. Edit /etc/default/my-x200.
    5. +
+

Alternatively, a .deb file ready to be installed and its associated .dsc source package file are provided in this repository. Once these two files and the corresponding two source files .orig.tar.gz and debian.tar.xz are downloaded in the same directory, it is advisable to verify the signature like so:—

+
    +
  1. Download the my-x200 master tarball: http://git.robertalessi.net/my-x200/snapshot/my-x200-master.tar.gz
    2. +
  2. Import the developer’s public PGP key, like so: gpg --recv-keys 8085C8C7
    3. +
  3. Verify the signature: dscverify --keyring ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg my-x200_<ver>.dsc (Replace <ver> with the actual release number.)
    4. +

Configuration

Once installed, my-x200 is configured by editing /etc/default/my-x200.

It is also possible to leave /etc/default/my-200 untouched. In this case, my-x200 can source its configuration from one or more *.conf files written in a specific directory /etc/default/my-x200.d/ which is to be created. This is the recommended method for these files cannot be affected by subsequent updates.
