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 gad- gets, 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 con- figuration 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 hardware 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. FILES /dev/backlight/acpi_asus_wmi0 Keyboard backlight(8) device node. SEE ALSO acpi(4), acpi_asus(4), acpi_video(4), sysctl.conf(5), backlight(8), devd(8), sysctl(8) HISTORY The acpi_asus_wmi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
