+Termal sensors provided by hddtemp daemon:
+==========================================
+Make sure hddtemp runs on 127.0.0.1 port 7634 before kima starts.
+
+
+CPU Frequency Daemon Notes:
+===========================
+If you have cpufreqd configured and running on your machine, Kima will 
+provide a sub-menu called "Performance Profiles" where you can choose 
+one of the preconfigured profiles for cpufreqd.
+Choosing one of the profiles will automatically put cpufreqd in manual 
+mode.
+You can use "Select dynamically" option from the menu to return back to 
+the dynamic scaling.
+Please don't forget to enable cpufreqd remote controlling in 
+cpufreqd.conf (enable_remote=1) and give enough permissions to cpufreqd 
+socket ("remote_group" option in cpufreqd.conf, see man pages for details).
+
+Known limitations:
+ - cpufreqd should be started before Kima (it's not a problem when you 
+   do everything from your startup scripts)
+ - Since cpufreqd does not provide means to detect its current mode 
+   (manual/dynamic), in rare cases "Select dynamically" check can be 
+   inconsistent with the real daemon state. This is inconvenient but 
+   does not affect program functionality.
+
+
+NVidia thermal source notes:
+============================
+By default the nvidia-settings tool is used to obtain the GPU temperature.
+The configure switch "-with-nvcontrol=/absolute/path/to/libnvcontrol-dir" 
+can be used to increase Kimas performance.
+Using this switch the libXNVCtrl.a gets statically compiled/linked into 
+libkima.so and is used to query the temperature(s) of your NVidia card. 
+The most recent nvidia-settings sourcecode can be downloaded 
+from: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-settings.
+
+Here is an usage example:
+./configure --prefix=$(tde-config --prefix) --with-nvcontrol=/home/$USER/nvidia-settings-1.0/src/libXNVCtrl
