|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
To compile this driver into the kernel,
|
|
place the following line in your
|
|
kernel configuration file:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "device acpi_asus"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
|
|
module at boot time, place the following line in
|
|
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
acpi_asus_load="YES"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for the extra ACPI-controlled gadgets, such as hotkeys
|
|
and leds, found on recent Asus (and Medion) laptops.
|
|
It allows one to use the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
interface to manipulate the brightness of the LCD panel and the display output
|
|
state.
|
|
Hotkey events are passed to
|
|
.Xr devd 8
|
|
for easy handling in userspace with the default configuration in
|
|
.Pa /etc/devd/asus.conf .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Currently, the following Asus laptops are fully supported:
