Description

Import a mostly rewritten and extended version of acpi_ibm:

  • Restructured for easier extensibility and maintainability
  • To be more uniform with the other ACPI extras drivers and to better reflect their actual meaning, some sysctls were moved: o brightness -> lcd_brightness o keylight -> thinklight o enable -> events o misckey -> hotkey o avail_mask -> availmask o key_mask -> eventmask
  • New "initialmask" sysctl, which holds the initial eventmask
  • The "wlan" sysctl is now read-only, since writing to it didn't have any effect
  • The "version" sysctl was removed, since it seems to be the same (0x100) on all models I have seen
  • Support for more hotkeys by the "hotkey" sysctl
  • Improved support of ACPI events. Disabled by default, since it unexpectedly changes the behaviour of some keys. (on my T41p there are now 24 different keypress events that get reported)
  • write support for: volume, mute, lcd_brightness and thinklight
  • led(4) interface for the thinklight [1]
  • New sysctls "fan" and "fan_speed" to support reading of fan status and speed
  • New sysctl "thermal" to support reading of up to 8 thermal sensors
