well well..this is my first post, so first of all: hello guys!

I've got working hdaps since this evening! Oh yes, It's really nice.I just read this http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_pr ... hrough_APS, then checked this one (an ebuild here!) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100167 and finally an applet (for gui monitoring) http://www.dresco.co.uk/hdaps/gnome-hda ... 120.tar.gz

Yello!

Welcome to thinkpads!

hdaps configurable any via command line or otherwise?

sure! look at this:

legeia path # hdapsd
usage: hdapsd -d <device> -s <sensitivity> [-b]
where <device> is likely to be hda or sda,
a suggested starting <sensitivity> is 15,
and -b will run the process in the background.

and the .conf file
# /etc/conf.d/hdapsd

# the name of the disk device that hdapsd should monitor.
# usually this is 'hda' the primary master.
DISK="hda"

# hdapsd sensitivity
# the lower the threshold is the earlier
# the heads are parked when the laptop is shaked
THRESHOLD="15"

Ooo.. I'll have to give this a try. Still configuring gentoo on my box, but this will definitely make the list of "try soon". heh.
