16 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
17 Linux requires an ACPI compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
18 and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
19 management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
20 kernel by about 70K.
21
22 Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
23 legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
24 the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
25 MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
26 Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
27 are configured, whichever is loaded first shall be used.
28
29 The ACPI SourceForge project contains the latest source code,
30 documentation, tools, mailing list subscription, and other
31 information. This project is available at:
32 <http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi>
33
34 Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
35 Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information see:
36 <http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi>
37
38 ACPI is an open industry specification co-developed by Compaq,
39 Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. The specification is

54 For backwards compatibility, this option allows
55 depricated /proc/acpi/ files to exist, even when
56 they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
57 The deprecated files (and their replacements) include:
58

77
78 These events are now delivered to user-space via
79 either the input layer, or as netlink events.

182 This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible
183 ASUS laptops. As some of Medion laptops are made by ASUS, it may also
184 support some Medion laptops (such as 9675 for example). It makes all
185 the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through
186 /proc/acpi/events, and (on some models) adds support for changing the
187 display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off,
188 and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended
189 for reporting mail and wireless status.
190
191 Note: display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL,
192 toying with these values may even lock your machine.
193
194 All settings are changed via /proc/acpi/asus directory entries. Owner
195 and group for these entries can be set with asus_uid and asus_gid
196 parameters.

201 If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. This
202 driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or
203 something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list
204 available on the above page (acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net).
205
206 NOTE: This driver is deprecated and will probably be removed soon,
207 use asus-laptop instead.

213 ---help---
214 This driver adds support for access to certain system settings
215 on "legacy free" Toshiba laptops. These laptops can be recognized by
216 their lack of a BIOS setup menu and APM support.
217
218 On these machines, all system configuration is handled through the
219 ACPI. This driver is required for access to controls not covered
220 by the general ACPI drivers, such as LCD brightness, video output,
221 etc.
222
223 This driver differs from the non-ACPI Toshiba laptop driver (located
224 under "Processor type and features") in several aspects.
225 Configuration is accessed by reading and writing text files in the
226 /proc tree instead of by program interface to /dev. Furthermore, no
227 power management functions are exposed, as those are handled by the
228 general ACPI drivers.
229
230 More information about this driver is available at
231 <http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver>.

303 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
304 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
305
306 This timing source is not affected by power management features
307 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
308 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
309 (TSC) timing source.

334 devices (PNP0C80) which represent memory ranges that may be
335 onlined or offlined during runtime.

337 Enabling this driver assumes that your platform hardware
338 and firmware have support for hot-plugging physical memory. If
339 your system does not support physically adding or ripping out
340 memory DIMMs at some platform defined granularity (individually
341 or as a bank) at runtime, then you need not enable this driver.
