    Power4Gear can utilise the button on my keyboard to switch power profiles. Can i get NHC to use that button? thanks.


    also does anyone know how to use the bluetooth audio gateway? I think it's supposed to link to my bluetooth cellphone. thanks.

    Simple answer.... no, unfortunately. P4G and the button are linked through HControl; there are some old hacks that *may* work for reprogramming HControl, but that still wouldn't allow the button to cycle through NHC profiles as it does for P4G, which is what you're asking about.

    damn i think i like NHC better than p4g
    it wouldn't make sense to use both at the same time would it?

    Others have used both, without conflict in most instances. It depends on personal preference, and whether one likes the convenience of the profile control for LCD, standby and hibernate settings that you get with P4G. Doesn't matter to me; I just use NHC because the cpu is dynamically set anyway so I don't need the higher default speeds and I leave the lcd brightness & power settings alone.
