ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)	    Kernel Interfaces Manual	      ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)

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  com-
       ponents,	 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-spe-
       cific.

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