NAME

     acpi_toshiba — Toshiba HCI interface

SYNOPSIS

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

           device acpi_toshiba

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

           acpi_toshiba_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     HCI is Toshiba's Hardware Control Interface which is somewhat uniform across their models.
     The acpi_toshiba driver allows the user to manipulate HCI-controlled hardware using a number
     of sysctl(8) variables.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

     The following sysctls are currently implemented:

     hw.acpi.toshiba.force_fan
             Causes active cooling to be forcibly enabled (‘1’) or disabled (‘0’) regardless of
             the current temperature.

     hw.acpi.toshiba.video_output
             Sets the active display to use according to a bitwise OR of the following:

             0       No display
             1       LCD
             2       CRT
             4       TV-Out

             Only some systems (i.e., the Libretto L5) support video switching via this hardware-
             specific driver.  Use the acpi_video(4) driver for generic video output support.

     hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_brightness
             Makes the LCD backlight brighter or dimmer (higher values are brighter).

     hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_backlight
             Turns the LCD backlight on and off.

     hw.acpi.toshiba.cpu_speed
             Sets the CPU speed to the specified speed.  This provides functionality similar to
             the hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state variable.  Higher sysctl values mean lower CPU
             speeds.

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

LOADER TUNABLES

     The hw.acpi.toshiba.enable_fn_keys tunable enables or disables the function keys on the
     keyboard.  Function keys are enabled by default.

     This behaviour can be changed at the loader(8) prompt or in loader.conf(5).
