This package provides a Guile Scheme API to control USB HID relay modules produced by dcttech.

ddcutil can query and modify most external monitors' settings, such as brightness, colour levels, and input sources. Generally speaking, any setting that can be changed by pressing buttons on the monitor can be modified by ddcutil.

ddcutil communicates directly with monitors implementing the Monitor Control Command Set (MCCS). It usually does so through the the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol on the I2C bus, but can also communicate over USB as per the USB Monitor Control Class Specification.

One particular use case is in colour profile management. Monitor calibration is relative to the monitor colour settings currently in effect, e.g. red gain. ddcutil allows colour-related settings to be saved at the time a monitor is calibrated, and restored when the calibration is applied.

This package includes udev rules that can be used by adding this package to the rules field of the udev-configuration record. It gives read/write access to i2c devices to users in the i2c group.

Deskflow is a keyboard and mouse sharing app. Use the keyboard, mouse,or trackpad of one computer to control nearby computers, and work seamlessly between them. It's like a software KVM (but without the video). TLS encryption is enabled by default. It supports Wayland clipboard sharing.

Hardware Probe is a tool to probe for hardware, check its operability and find drivers.

The h-node project (https://www.h-node.org) aims to build a database of hardware that works with fully free operating systems. h-client is a GTK+ graphical client that is able to retrieves information on the hardware inside the computer it's running on, and on peripherals connected to it, and helps you submit that information to the h-node project along with whether the hardware works with a fully free operating system or not.

This package provides the TCG TSS2. The stack contains libtss2-fapi, libtss2-esys, libtss2-sys, libtss2-mu, libtss2-tcti-device, libtss2-tcti-swtpm and libtss2-tcti-mssim.

USBGuard is a software framework for implementing USB device authorization policies (what kind of USB devices are authorized) as well as method of use policies (how a USB device may interact with the system). Simply put, it is a USB device whitelisting tool.

Wavemon is a wireless device monitor with an interactive ncurses terminal interface. It can display and plot signal and noise levels in real time. It also reports packet statistics, device configuration, network parameters, and access points and other wireless clients of your wireless network hardware.

Wavemon should work (with varying levels of detail and features) with any device supported by the Linux kernel.

This package provides user tools for the Trusted Computing Group's (TCG) TPM2 Software Stack (TSS). These programs help with common tasks such as key management, attestation, encryption, and signing.

OpenHMD aims to provide an API and drivers for immersive technology, such as head mounted displays with built in head tracking.

Libcpuid is a small C library to get vendor, model, branding string, code name and other information from x86 CPU. This library is not to be confused with the cpuid command line utility from package cpuid.

This is the Python extension to usbrelay, a Linux driver based on hidapi for a variety of inexpensive HID compatible USB relay modules. This package also includes usbrelayd.

The i7z utility accurately measures the current frequency and temperature of older Intel Core (i3, i5, and i7) processors including the Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, and Ivy Bridge generations. Reliable support for newer CPUs is not guaranteed, as this package has not seen significant development since 2013.

If your processor is supported, you'll get detailed reports on Turbo Boost and clock multipliers, core voltage, and time spent in different C-states. This information can be viewed in real time and/or logged to a file.

Liquidctl is a package with tools, drivers and a Python library to work with liquid cooling equipment such as AIO coolers, fan controllers and other devices.

• Graphical view of device LEDs makes creating custom patterns easy

Deskflow is a keyboard and mouse sharing app. Use the keyboard, mouse,or trackpad of one computer to control nearby computers, and work seamlessly between them. It's like a software KVM (but without the video). TLS encryption is enabled by default. It supports Wayland clipboard sharing.

This package provides tools for exploring Nvidia's proprietary GPU drivers, including an assembler and a disassembler for several GPU instruction sets, and tools to deal with register databases.

ddcui is a graphical user interface for ddcutil, implemented using Qt. It provide a dynamic way to inspect and configure external monitors through the Display Data Channel Command Interface (DDC/CI) protocol.

Brillo is a command line tool to control the brightness of backlight and LED devices on Linux.

Notable features include:

• Automatic best controller detection

• Smooth transitions and natural brightness adjustments

• Ability to save and restore brightness across boots

• Directly using sysfs to set brightness without relying on X

• Unprivileged access with no new setuid binaries

• Containment with AppArmor

This is a program for testing the quality of CRT/LCD screens. It displays various patterns and allows you to estimate the quality of your CRT/LCD monitor.

This is a Linux driver based on hidapi for a variety of inexpensive HID compatible USB relay modules available with different number of output relays.
