Thanks for the heads up on this plugin, I’ve just installed it on my G15 and it really is the puppy’s parts. Who’d have thought you could squeeze so much useful info into such a small screen?

To view the SpeedFan data, you need to have SpeedFan installed and running. It’s shareware. Once you get it running, you can monitor the temps, fan speeds, etc. in a SpeedFan window. By trying various numbers from 0 to 9, and seeing the resulting temps in the LCD, you can compare the temps to determine which device corresponds with which number. Then you can name the devices. My dell Inspiron has 9 different things being monitored from a choice of: temps for CPU, GPU, DIMM, Fan1, Fan2, Fan3, HD0, HD1, and RPM for Fans 1,2,3. I love it!

FYI, to see the time in 12-hour format use the following:

time_format hh’:'mm’:’ss tt

Enjoy!

I just installed SirReal v2.6.7 today and it does not work for the G15v2.. The bottoms are missing 1/3 of each slot display.

I have been using this for well over 6 months. A truly well made applet (the only one I ever use), for my G15.

Thanks Sir!!

James,

If you look in the directory where you put the SirReal G15 plugin, there’s a config file named “lcdsirreal.txt”.

Open up that file, and you can then customize the settings to show specific SpeedFan temps, and what slot SpeedFan is in, etc.

The developer of the plugin has commented the file very well, so it serves as its own documentation and should be self-explanatory.
