Tpctl is a package of configuration tools for IBM ThinkPad laptop computers. The main program, also called "tpctl", is a console utility that does some of the things under Linux that PS2.EXE does under DOS and that the ThinkPad Configuration program does under Windows. The tpctl program, along with its ncurses variant ntpctl, provides access to the functionality of the IBM SMAPI BIOS as documented in the IBM ThinkPad Technical Reference manuals. It can thereby control pointing device behavior, video configuration, power management behavior, etc. tpctl can also configure some parallel and serial port resources and display certain information from the CMOS RAM. Check the tpctl homepage for the complete list of capabilities. So far tpctl has been found to work on at least the following ThinkPad models: 365XD, 380D, 380ED, 380XD, 380Z, 385XD, 560, 560E, 560X, 570, 570E, 600, 600E, 600X, 760C, 760E, 760ED, 760EL, 760XD, 760XL, 765XD, 770, 770E, 770ED, 770X, 770Z, T20.
