ASUS G1/G2/G50/G70/G71 OLED Daemon


This Java daemon displays system monitoring information on the small (256x32) OLED display found on ASUS G50/G70/G71 (USB ID: 0b05:175b).
It also works for ASUS G1/G2 (128x32 / USB ID: 0b05:1726).

Here is how it looks like in action:

  • Load on the machine
  • CPU usage (User / System / IOWait / Idle)
  • Total traffic IN / OUT on all interfaces
  • Battery level
  • Current time and date
  • Current operating frequencies for each core
  • HDD temperature (from smartctl)
  • CPU temperature
  • Message notifications from Kopete and Thunderbird
  • What's playing in Amarok or Kaffeine

You can re-arrange the layout as you like by changing the positions, enabling/disabling each module or write your own modules that can do any fancy monitoring you like. More information can be found in the README and CHANGELOG files included in the archive below.
