VU Leds v0.21 - INSTALLATION
-------------------------------

********************************
* VU Leds must be run as root! *
********************************

Failure to run this plugin as root will result in scary things,
such as the plugin not running.  Sorry for any problems this will cause,
but until I find a better solution than ioctl()'s to /dev/console,
that's the way it'll be :-/

----ATTENTION PROGRAMMERS!----
Know how i can toggle the LEDs through X?  TELL ME!  I hate
that this has to be run as root, but i have yet to find the
golden goose.


To install:
	tar -xzvf vuleds-0.21.tar.gz
	cd vuleds-0.21
	./configure
	make
	su root
	make install

To use:
	Scenerio A - X Run As root
		If you run X as root, you'll have no problems (running
		this plugin, that is ;-)


	Solution B - X Run As Normal User
		Download and install the 'sudo' package which
		allows you to grant limited root access to individual
		users.

		in the /etc/sudoers file, add a line like:

			username machine=/usr/local/bin/xmms

		to allow only xmms to be run as root by a normal user.


	Solution C - X Run As Normal User
		When logged in as the user you normally run X as,
		type:

		     xhost <machinename>

		replacing <machinename> with the name of the computer.
		(uname -n should tell you the name)

		after that, you may:

		     su root
		     xmms &

		NOTE: Running xhost <machinename> gives anyone on the
		      machine the ability to run programs on your X Display.
		      Read the 'man xhost' for more information on what this
		      utility does.
