NAME

     acpi_asus_wmi — Asus Laptop WMI Extras

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel
     configuration file:

           device acpi_asus_wmi

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

           acpi_asus_wmi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The acpi_asus_wmi driver provides support for the extra WMI-controlled gadgets, such as
     hotkeys and leds, found on Asus laptops.  It allows one to use the sysctl(8) interface to
     manipulate the brightness of the LCD panel and keyboard backlight, power on/off different
     internal components, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, cardreader, etc, read some sensors.
     Hotkey events are passed to devd(8) for easy handling in userspace with the default
     configuration in /etc/devd/asus.conf.  Some hotkey events, such as keyboard backlight and
     touchpad control, are handled inside the driver.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

     The following sysctls are currently implemented:

     dev.acpi_asus_wmi.0.handle_keys
             Specifies whether driver should handle some harwdare keys, such as keyboard
             backlight, internally.

     Number of other variables under the same sysctl branch are model-specific.

     Defaults for these variables can be set in sysctl.conf(5), which is parsed at boot-time.
