31.Sh NAME
32.Nm acpi_ibm
33.Nd "ACPI extras driver for IBM laptops"
34.Sh SYNOPSIS
35To compile this driver into the kernel,
36place the following line in your
37kernel configuration file:
38.Bd -ragged -offset indent
39.Cd "device acpi_ibm"
40.Ed
41.Pp
42Alternatively, to load the driver as a
43module at boot time, place the following line in
44.Xr loader.conf 5 :
45.Bd -literal -offset indent
46acpi_ibm_load="YES"
47.Ed
48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49The
50.Nm
51driver provides support for hotkeys and other components of IBM laptops.
52The main purpose of this driver is to provide an interface,
53accessible via
54.Xr sysctl 8
55and
56.Xr devd 8 ,
57through which applications can determine the status of
58various laptop components.
59.Pp
60While the
61.Xr sysctl 8
62interface is enabled automatically after loading the driver, the
63.Xr devd 8
64interface has to be enabled explicitly, as it may alter the default action of
65certain keys.
66This is done by setting the
67.Va events
68sysctl as described below.
69Specifying which keys should generate events is done by setting a bitmask,
70whereas each bit represents one key or key combination.
71This bitmask, accessible via the
72.Va eventmask
73sysctl, is set to
74.Va availmask
75by default, a value representing all possible keypress events on the specific
76ThinkPad model.
77.Ss Xr devd 8 Ss Events
78Hotkey events received by
79.Xr devd 8
80provide the following information:

82.Bl -tag -width "subsystem" -offset indent -compact
83.It system

88The source of the event in the ACPI namespace.
89The value depends on the model.

94Depending on the ThinkPad model, event codes may vary.

147.Ss Xr led 4 Ss Interface
148The
149.Nm
150driver provides a
151.Xr led 4
152interface for the ThinkLight.
153The ThinkLight can be made to blink by writing
154.Tn ASCII
155strings to the
156.Pa /dev/led/thinklight
157device.
158.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
159The following sysctls are currently implemented:
160.Bl -tag -width indent
161.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.initialmask
162(read-only)
163Bitmask of ACPI events before the
164.Nm
165driver was loaded.
166.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.availmask
167(read-only)
168Bitmask of all supported ACPI events.
169.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.events
170Enable ACPI events and set the
171.Va eventmask
172to
173.Va availmask .
174Without the
175.Nm
176driver being loaded, only the Fn+F4 button generates an ACPI event.
177.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.eventmask
178Sets the ACPI events which are reported to
179.Xr devd 8 .
180Fn+F3, Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 always generate ACPI events, regardless which value
181.Va eventmask
182has.
183Depending on the ThinkPad model, the meaning of different bits in the
184.Va eventmask
185may vary.
186On a ThinkPad T41p this is a bitwise OR of the following:
187.Pp

269.El
270.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.lcd_brightness
271Current brightness level of the display.
272.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.volume
273Speaker volume.
274.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.mute
275Indicates, whether the speakers are muted or not.
276.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.thinklight
277Indicates, whether the ThinkLight keyboard light is activated or not.
278.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.bluetooth
279Toggle Bluetooth chip activity.
280.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan
281(read-only)
282Indicates whether the WLAN chip is active or not.
283.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan
284Indicates whether the fan is in automatic (1) or manual (0) mode.
285Default is automatic mode.
286This sysctl should be used with extreme precaution, since disabling automatic
287fan control might overheat the ThinkPad and lead to permanent damage if the
288.Va fan_level
289is not set accordingly.
290.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level
291Indicates at what speed the fan should run when being in manual mode.
292Values are ranging from 0 (off) to 7 (max).
293The resulting speed differs from model to model.
294On a T41p this is as follows:

304~4300 RPM
305.El
306.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed
307(read-only)
308Fan speed in rounds per minute.
309A few older ThinkPads report the fan speed in levels ranging from 0 (off)
310to 7 (max).
311.It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal
312(read-only)
313Shows the readings of up to eight different temperature sensors.
314Most ThinkPads include six or more temperature sensors but
315only expose the CPU temperature through
316.Xr acpi_thermal 4 .
317Some ThinkPads have the below sensor layout which might vary depending on the
