29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm acpi_hp
32.Nd "ACPI extras driver for HP laptops"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34To compile this driver into the kernel,
35place the following line in your
36kernel configuration file:
37.Bd -ragged -offset indent
38.Cd "device acpi_hp"
39.Ed
40.Pp
41Alternatively, to load the driver as a
42module at boot time, place the following line in
43.Xr loader.conf 5 :
44.Bd -literal -offset indent
45acpi_hp_load="YES"
46.Ed
47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm
50driver provides support for ACPI-controlled features found on HP laptops
51that use a WMI enabled BIOS (e.g., HP Compaq 8510p and 6510p).
52.Pp
53The main purpose of this driver is to provide an interface,
54accessible via
55.Xr sysctl 8 ,
56.Xr devd 8 and
57.Xr devfs 8 ,
58through which applications can determine and change the status of
59various laptop components and BIOS settings.
60.Ss Xr devd 8 Events

277.Sh BUGS
278This driver is experimental and has only been tested on i386 on an
279HP Compaq 8510p which featured all supported wireless devices (WWAN/BT/WLAN).
280Expect undefined results when operating on different hardware.
281.Pp
282Loading the driver is slow.
283Reading from
284.Pa /dev/hpcmi
285is even slower.
286.Pp
287Additional features like HP specific sensor readings or writing BIOS
288settings are not supported.
