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

50 default y
51 ---help---
52 This option adds support for ACPI suspend states.
53
54 With this option, you will be able to put the system "to sleep".
55 Sleep states are low power states for the system and devices. All
56 of the system operating state is saved to either memory or disk
57 (depending on the state), to allow the system to resume operation
58 quickly at your request.
59
60 Although this option sounds really nifty, barely any of the device
61 drivers have been converted to the new driver model and hence few
62 have proper power management support.
63
64 This option is not recommended for anyone except those doing driver
65 power management development.

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

197 driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or
198 something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list

242 ---help---
243 This driver adds support for access to certain system settings
244 on "legacy free" Toshiba laptops. These laptops can be recognized by
245 their lack of a BIOS setup menu and APM support.
246
247 On these machines, all system configuration is handled through the
248 ACPI. This driver is required for access to controls not covered
249 by the general ACPI drivers, such as LCD brightness, video output,
250 etc.
251
252 This driver differs from the non-ACPI Toshiba laptop driver (located
253 under "Processor type and features") in several aspects.
254 Configuration is accessed by reading and writing text files in the
255 /proc tree instead of by program interface to /dev. Furthermore, no
256 power management functions are exposed, as those are handled by the
257 general ACPI drivers.
258
259 More information about this driver is available at
260 <http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver>.

324 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
325 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
326
327 This timing source is not affected by power management features
328 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
329 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
330 (TSC) timing source.

360 and firmware have support for hot-plugging physical memory. If
361 your system does not support physically adding or ripping out
362 memory DIMMs at some platform defined granularity (individually
363 or as a bank) at runtime, then you need not enable this driver.
