.Sh NAME
.Nm acpi_ibm
.Nd "ACPI extras driver for IBM laptops"
.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_ibm"
.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_ibm_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver provides support for hotkeys and other components of IBM laptops.
The main purpose of this driver is to provide an interface,
accessible via
.Xr sysctl 8
and
.Xr devd 8 ,
through which applications can determine the status of
various laptop components.
.Pp
While the
.Xr sysctl 8
interface is enabled automatically after loading the driver, the
.Xr devd 8
interface has to be enabled explicitly, as it may alter the default action of
certain keys.
This is done by setting the
.Va events
sysctl as described below.
Specifying which keys should generate events is done by setting a bitmask,
whereas each bit represents one key or key combination.
This bitmask, accessible via the
.Va eventmask
sysctl, is set to
.Va availmask
by default, a value representing all possible keypress events on the specific
ThinkPad model.
.Ss Xr devd 8 Ss Events
Hotkey events received by
.Xr devd 8
provide the following information:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width "subsystem" -offset indent -compact
.It system
.Qq Li ACPI
.It subsystem
.Qq Li IBM
.It type
The source of the event in the ACPI namespace.
The value depends on the model.
.It notify
Event code (see below).
.El
.Pp
Depending on the ThinkPad model, event codes may vary.
On a ThinkPad T41p these are as follows:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width "subsystem" -offset indent -compact
.It Li 0x01
Fn + F1
.It Li 0x02
Fn + F2

.El
.Ss Xr led 4 Ss Interface
The
.Nm
driver provides a
.Xr led 4
interface for the ThinkLight.
The ThinkLight can be made to blink by writing
.Tn ASCII
strings to the
.Pa /dev/led/thinklight
device.
.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following sysctls are currently implemented:
.Bl -tag -width indent
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.initialmask
(read-only)
Bitmask of ACPI events before the
.Nm
driver was loaded.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.availmask
(read-only)
Bitmask of all supported ACPI events.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.events
Enable ACPI events and set the
.Va eventmask
to
.Va availmask .
Without the
.Nm
driver being loaded, only the Fn+F4 button generates an ACPI event.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.eventmask
Sets the ACPI events which are reported to
.Xr devd 8 .
Fn+F3, Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 always generate ACPI events, regardless which value
.Va eventmask
has.
Depending on the ThinkPad model, the meaning of different bits in the
.Va eventmask
may vary.
On a ThinkPad T41p this is a bitwise OR of the following:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent-two -compact
.It Li 1
Fn + F1
.It Li 2
Fn + F2
.It Li 4
Fn + F3 (LCD backlight)
.It Li 8

Access IBM Button
.El
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.hotkey
(read-only)
Status of several buttons.
Every time a button is pressed, the respecting bit is toggled.
It is a bitwise OR of the following:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent-two -compact
.It Li 1
Home Button
.It Li 2
Search Button
.It Li 4

.It Li 1024
Brightness Up/Down Button
.It Li 2048
Volume Up/Down/Mute Button
.El
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.lcd_brightness
Current brightness level of the display.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.volume
Speaker volume.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.mute
Indicates, whether the speakers are muted or not.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.thinklight
Indicates, whether the ThinkLight keyboard light is activated or not.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.bluetooth
Toggle Bluetooth chip activity.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan
(read-only)
Indicates whether the WLAN chip is active or not.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan
Indicates whether the fan is in automatic (1) or manual (0) mode.
Default is automatic mode.
This sysctl should be used with extreme precaution, since disabling automatic
fan control might overheat the ThinkPad and lead to permanent damage if the
.Va fan_level
is not set accordingly.
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level
Indicates at what speed the fan should run when being in manual mode.
Values are ranging from 0 (off) to 7 (max).
The resulting speed differs from model to model.
On a T41p this is as follows:
.Pp
.Bl -tag -width indent-two -compact
.It Li 0
off
.It Li 1, 2
~3000 RPM
.It Li 3, 4, 5
~3600 RPM
.It Li 6, 7
~4300 RPM
.El
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed
(read-only)
Fan speed in rounds per minute.
A few older ThinkPads report the fan speed in levels ranging from 0 (off)
to 7 (max).
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal
(read-only)
Shows the readings of up to eight different temperature sensors.
Most ThinkPads include six or more temperature sensors but
only expose the CPU temperature through
.Xr acpi_thermal 4 .
Some ThinkPads have the below sensor layout which might vary depending on the
specific model:
.Pp
.Bl -enum -compact
.It
CPU
.It
Mini PCI Module
.It
HDD
.It
GPU
.It
Built-in battery

.El
.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.handlerevents
.Xr devd 8
events handled by
.Nm
when
.Va events
is set to 1.
Events are specified as a whitespace-separated list of event code in
hexadecimal or decimal form.
Note that the event maybe handled twice (eg. Brightness up/down) if ACPI BIOS
already handled the event.
.El
.Pp
Defaults for these sysctls can be set in
.Xr sysctl.conf 5 .
.Sh FILES

.Sh EXAMPLES
The following can be added to
.Xr devd.conf 5
in order to pass button events to a
.Pa /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh
script:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
notify 10 {
        match "system"          "ACPI";
        match "subsystem"       "IBM";
        action "/usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh $notify ibm";
};
.Ed
.Pp
A possible
.Pa /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh
script might look like:
