The main purpose of this driver is to provide an interface, accessible via .Xr sysctl 8 and .Xr devd 8 , through which applications can determine the status of various laptop components. .Pp While the .Xr sysctl 8 interface is enabled automatically after loading the driver, the .Xr devd 8 interface has to be enabled explicitly, as it may alter the default action of certain keys. This is done by setting the .Va events sysctl as described below. Specifying which keys should generate events is done by setting a bitmask, whereas each bit represents one key or key combination. This bitmask, accessible via the .Va eventmask sysctl, is set to .Va availmask by default, a value representing all possible keypress events on the specific ThinkPad model. .Ss Xr devd 8 Events Hotkey events received by .Xr devd 8 provide the following information: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "subsystem" -offset indent -compact .It system .Qq Li ACPI .It subsystem .Qq Li IBM .It type The source of the event in the ACPI namespace. The value depends on the model. .It notify Event code (see below). .El .Pp Depending on the ThinkPad model, event codes may vary. On a ThinkPad T41p these are as follows: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "subsystem" -offset indent -compact .It Li 0x01 Fn + F1 .It Li 0x02 Fn + F2 .It Li 0x03 Fn + F3 (LCD backlight) .It Li 0x04 Fn + F4 (Suspend to RAM) .It Li 0x05 Fn + F5 (Bluetooth) .It Li 0x06 Fn + F6 .It Li 0x07 Fn + F7 (Screen expand) .It Li 0x08 Fn + F8 .It Li 0x09 Fn + F9 .It Li 0x0a Fn + F10 .It Li 0x0b Fn + F11 .It Li 0x0c Fn + F12 (Suspend to disk) .It Li 0x0d Fn + Backspace .It Li 0x0e Fn + Insert .It Li 0x0f Fn + Delete .It Li 0x10 Fn + Home (Brightness up) .It Li 0x11 Fn + End (Brightness down) .It Li 0x12 Fn + PageUp (ThinkLight) .It Li 0x13 Fn + PageDown .It Li 0x14 Fn + Space (Zoom) .It Li 0x15 Volume Up .It Li 0x16 Volume Down .It Li 0x17 Mute .It Li 0x18 Access IBM Button .El .Ss Xr led 4 Interface The .Nm driver provides a .Xr led 4 interface for the ThinkLight. The ThinkLight can be made to blink by writing .Tn ASCII strings to the .Pa /dev/led/thinklight device. .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES The following sysctls are currently implemented: .Bl -tag -width indent .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.initialmask (read-only) Bitmask of ACPI events before the .Nm driver was loaded. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.availmask (read-only) Bitmask of all supported ACPI events. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.events Enable ACPI events and set the .Va eventmask to .Va availmask . Without the .Nm driver being loaded, only the Fn+F4 button generates an ACPI event. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.eventmask Sets the ACPI events which are reported to .Xr devd 8 . Fn+F3, Fn+F4 and Fn+F12 always generate ACPI events, regardless which value .Va eventmask has. Depending on the ThinkPad model, the meaning of different bits in the .Va eventmask may vary. On a ThinkPad T41p this is a bitwise OR of the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width indent-two -compact .It Li 1 Fn + F1 .It Li 2 Fn + F2 .It Li 4 Fn + F3 (LCD backlight) .It Li 8 Fn + F4 (Suspend to RAM) .It Li 16 Fn + F5 (Bluetooth) .It Li 32 Fn + F6 .It Li 64 Fn + F7 (Screen expand) .It Li 128 Fn + F8 .It Li 256 Fn + F9 .It Li 512 Fn + F10 .It Li 1024 Fn + F11 .It Li 2048 Fn + F12 (Suspend to disk) .It Li 4096 Fn + Backspace .It Li 8192 Fn + Insert .It Li 16384 Fn + Delete .It Li 32768 Fn + Home (Brightness up) .It Li 65536 Fn + End (Brightness down) .It Li 131072 Fn + PageUp (ThinkLight) .It Li 262144 Fn + PageDown .It Li 524288 Fn + Space (Zoom) .It Li 1048576 Volume Up .It Li 2097152 Volume Down .It Li 4194304 Mute .It Li 8388608 Access IBM Button .El .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.hotkey (read-only) Status of several buttons. Every time a button is pressed, the respecting bit is toggled. It is a bitwise OR of the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width indent-two -compact .It Li 1 Home Button .It Li 2 Search Button .It Li 4 Mail Button .It Li 8 Access IBM Button .It Li 16 Zoom .It Li 32 Wireless LAN Button .It Li 64 Video Button .It Li 128 Hibernate Button .It Li 256 ThinkLight Button .It Li 512 Screen Expand .It Li 1024 Brightness Up/Down Button .It Li 2048 Volume Up/Down/Mute Button .El .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.lcd_brightness Current brightness level of the display. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.volume Speaker volume. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.mute Indicates, whether the speakers are muted or not. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.mic_mute Indicates, whether the microphone led (present on some model) is on or not. Note that this does not mean that the microphone input is muted. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.thinklight Indicates, whether the ThinkLight keyboard light is activated or not. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.bluetooth Toggle Bluetooth chip activity. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.wlan (read-only) Indicates whether the WLAN chip is active or not. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan Indicates whether the fan is in automatic (1) or manual (0) mode. Default is automatic mode. This sysctl should be used with extreme precaution, since disabling automatic fan control might overheat the ThinkPad and lead to permanent damage if the .Va fan_level is not set accordingly. .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_level Indicates at what speed the fan should run when being in manual mode. Valid values range from 0 (off) to 7 (max) and 8. Level 8 is used by the driver to set the fan in unthrottled mode. In this mode, the fan is set to spin freely and will quickly reach a very high speed. Use this mode only if absolutely necessary, e.g., if the system has reached its critical temperature and it is about to shut down. The resulting speed differs from model to model. On a T41p this is as follows: .Pp .Bl -tag -width indent-two -compact .It Li 0 off .It Li 1, 2 ~3000 RPM .It Li 3, 4, 5 ~3600 RPM .It Li 6, 7 ~4300 RPM .It Li 8 ~6400 RPM (Full-speed, unthrottled) .El .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.fan_speed (read-only) Fan speed in rounds per minute. A few older ThinkPads report the fan speed in levels ranging from 0 (off) to 7 (max). .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal (read-only) Shows the readings of up to eight different temperature sensors. Most ThinkPads include six or more temperature sensors but only expose the CPU temperature through .Xr acpi_thermal 4 . Some ThinkPads have the below sensor layout which might vary depending on the specific model: .Pp .Bl -enum -compact .It CPU .It Mini PCI Module .It HDD .It GPU .It Built-in battery .It UltraBay battery .It Built-in battery .It UltraBay battery .El .It Va dev.acpi_ibm.0.handlerevents .Xr devd 8 events handled by .Nm when .Va events is set to 1. Events are specified as a whitespace-separated list of event code in hexadecimal or decimal form. Note that the event maybe handled twice (e.g., Brightness up/down) if ACPI BIOS already handled the event. .El .Pp Defaults for these sysctls can be set in .Xr sysctl.conf 5 . .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /dev/led/thinklight" .It Pa /dev/led/thinklight ThinkLight .Xr led 4 device node .El .Sh EXAMPLES The following can be added to .Xr devd.conf 5 in order to pass button events to a .Pa /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh script: .Bd -literal -offset indent notify 10 { match "system" "ACPI"; match "subsystem" "IBM"; action "/usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh $notify ibm"; }; .Ed .Pp A possible .Pa /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh script might look like: .Bd -literal -offset indent #!/bin/sh # if [ "$1" = "" -o "$2" = "" ] then echo "usage: $0 notify oem_name" exit 1 fi NOTIFY=`echo $1` LOGGER="logger" CALC="bc" BC_PRECOMMANDS="scale=2" ECHO="echo" CUT="cut" MAX_LCD_BRIGHTNESS=7 MAX_VOLUME=14 OEM=$2 DISPLAY_PIPE=/tmp/acpi_${OEM}_display case ${NOTIFY} in 0x05) LEVEL=`sysctl -n dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.bluetooth` if [ "$LEVEL" = "1" ] then sysctl dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.bluetooth=0 MESSAGE="bluetooth disabled" else sysctl dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.bluetooth=1 MESSAGE="bluetooth enabled" fi ;; 0x10|0x11) LEVEL=`sysctl -n dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.lcd_brightness` PERCENT=`${ECHO} "${BC_PRECOMMANDS} ; \\ ${LEVEL} / ${MAX_LCD_BRIGHTNESS} * 100" |\\ ${CALC} | ${CUT} -d . -f 1` MESSAGE="brightness level ${PERCENT}%" ;; 0x12) LEVEL=`sysctl -n dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.thinklight` if [ "$LEVEL" = "1" ] then MESSAGE="thinklight enabled" else MESSAGE="thinklight disabled" fi ;; 0x15|0x16) LEVEL=`sysctl -n dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.volume` PERCENT=`${ECHO} "${BC_PRECOMMANDS} ; \\ ${LEVEL} / ${MAX_VOLUME} * 100" | \\ ${CALC} | ${CUT} -d . -f 1` MESSAGE="volume level ${PERCENT}%" ;; 0x17) LEVEL=`sysctl -n dev.acpi_${OEM}.0.mute` if [ "$LEVEL" = "1" ] then MESSAGE="volume muted" else MESSAGE="volume unmuted" fi ;; 0x1b) LEVEL=`sysctl -n dev.acpi_ibm.0.mic_led` if [ $LEVEL -eq 0 ]; then sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.mic_led=1 mixer rec 0 fi if [ $LEVEL -eq 1 ]; then sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.mic_led=0 mixer rec 30 fi ;; *) ;; esac ${LOGGER} ${MESSAGE} if [ -p ${DISPLAY_PIPE} ] then ${ECHO} ${MESSAGE} >> ${DISPLAY_PIPE} & fi exit 0 .Ed .Pp The following example specify that event code 0x04 (Suspend to RAM), 0x10 (Brightness up) and 0x11 (Brightness down) are handled by .Nm . .Bd -literal -offset indent sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.handlerevents='0x04 0x10 0x11' .Ed .Pp in .Xr sysctl.conf 5 : .Bd -literal -offset indent dev.acpi_ibm.0.handlerevents=0x04\\ 0x10\\ 0x11 .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr acpi 4 , .Xr led 4 , .Xr sysctl.conf 5 , .Xr devd 8 , .Xr sysctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm device driver first appeared in .Fx 6.0 . .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written by .An Takanori Watanabe Aq Mt takawata@FreeBSD.org and later mostly rewritten by .An Markus Brueffer Aq Mt markus@FreeBSD.org .
