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
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.
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>
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>
39 ACPI is an open industry specification co-developed by Compaq,
40 Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. The specification is

48 depends on X86 && (!SMP || SUSPEND_SMP)
52 This option adds support for ACPI suspend states.
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.
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.
64 This option is not recommended for anyone except those doing driver
65 power management development.
67 config ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS
69 depends on ACPI_SLEEP && PROC_FS
72 config ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP
73 bool "/proc/acpi/sleep (deprecated)"
74 depends on ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS
77 Create /proc/acpi/sleep
78 Deprecated by /sys/power/state
85 This driver adds support for the AC Adapter object, which indicates
86 whether a system is on AC, or not. If you have a system that can
87 switch between A/C and battery, say Y.
94 This driver adds support for battery information through
95 /proc/acpi/battery. If you have a mobile system with a battery,
102 This driver handles events on the power, sleep and lid buttons.
103 A daemon reads /proc/acpi/event and perform user-defined actions
104 such as shutting down the system. This is necessary for
105 software controlled poweroff.
111 This driver implement the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters
112 for integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in
113 ACPI 2.0 Specification, Appendix B, allowing to perform some basic
114 control like defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information
115 or to setup a video output, etc.
116 Note that this is an ref. implementation only. It may or may not work
117 for your integrated video device.
120 tristate "Generic Hotkey (EXPERIMENTAL)"
121 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
125 Experimental consolidated hotkey driver.
126 If you are unsure, say N.
132 This driver adds support for ACPI fan devices, allowing user-mode
133 applications to perform basic fan control (on, off, status).
137 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
139 This driver adds support for ACPI controlled docking stations
141 config ACPI_PROCESSOR
145 This driver installs ACPI as the idle handler for Linux, and uses
146 ACPI C2 and C3 processor states to save power, on systems that
147 support it. It is required by several flavors of cpufreq
148 Performance-state drivers.
150 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU
152 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR && HOTPLUG_CPU
153 select ACPI_CONTAINER
157 tristate "Thermal Zone"
158 depends on ACPI_PROCESSOR
161 This driver adds support for ACPI thermal zones. Most mobile and
162 some desktop systems support ACPI thermal zones. It is HIGHLY
163 recommended that this option be enabled, as your processor(s)
164 may be damaged without it.
169 depends on (X86 || IA64)
170 default y if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
173 tristate "ASUS/Medion Laptop Extras"
176 This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible
177 ASUS laptops. As some of Medion laptops are made by ASUS, it may also
178 support some Medion laptops (such as 9675 for example). It makes all
179 the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through
180 /proc/acpi/events, and (on some models) adds support for changing the
181 display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off,
182 and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended
183 for reporting mail and wireless status.
185 Note: display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL,
186 toying with these values may even lock your machine.
188 All settings are changed via /proc/acpi/asus directory entries. Owner
189 and group for these entries can be set with asus_uid and asus_gid
192 More information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra buttons
193 at <http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi4asus/>.
195 If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. This
196 driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or
197 something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list
198 available on the above page (acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net)
201 tristate "IBM ThinkPad Laptop Extras"
204 This is a Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops. It adds
205 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
206 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
207 For more information about this driver see <file:Documentation/ibm-acpi.txt>
208 and <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
210 If you have an IBM ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
213 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
215 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
218 Allows the ibm_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
219 This support is obsoleted by CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_ACPI. It will
220 allow locking and removing the laptop from the docking station,
221 but will not properly connect PCI devices.
223 If you are not sure, say N here.
226 tristate "Toshiba Laptop Extras"
229 This driver adds support for access to certain system settings
230 on "legacy free" Toshiba laptops. These laptops can be recognized by
231 their lack of a BIOS setup menu and APM support.
233 On these machines, all system configuration is handled through the
234 ACPI. This driver is required for access to controls not covered
235 by the general ACPI drivers, such as LCD brightness, video output,
238 This driver differs from the non-ACPI Toshiba laptop driver (located
239 under "Processor type and features") in several aspects.
240 Configuration is accessed by reading and writing text files in the
241 /proc tree instead of by program interface to /dev. Furthermore, no
242 power management functions are exposed, as those are handled by the
243 general ACPI drivers.
245 More information about this driver is available at
246 <http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver>.
248 If you have a legacy free Toshiba laptop (such as the Libretto L1
251 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT
252 bool "Include Custom DSDT"
253 depends on !STANDALONE
256 This option is to load a custom ACPI DSDT
257 If you don't know what that is, say N.
259 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
260 string "Custom DSDT Table file to include"
261 depends on ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT
264 Enter the full path name to the file which includes the AmlCode
267 config ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR
268 int "Disable ACPI for systems before Jan 1st this year" if X86_32
271 enter a 4-digit year, eg. 2001 to disable ACPI by default
272 on platforms with DMI BIOS date before January 1st that year.
273 "acpi=force" can be used to override this mechanism.
275 Enter 0 to disable this mechanism and allow ACPI to
276 run by default no matter what the year. (default)
279 bool "Debug Statements"
282 The ACPI driver can optionally report errors with a great deal
283 of verbosity. Saying Y enables these statements. This will increase
284 your kernel size by around 50K.
290 This driver is required on some systems for the proper operation of
291 the battery and thermal drivers. If you are compiling for a
292 mobile system, say Y.
302 This driver will enable your system to shut down using ACPI, and
303 dump your ACPI DSDT table using /proc/acpi/dsdt.
306 bool "Power Management Timer Support" if EMBEDDED
310 The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
311 in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
313 This timing source is not affected by power management features
314 like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
315 voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
318 You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
319 systems require this timer.
321 config ACPI_CONTAINER
322 tristate "ACPI0004,PNP0A05 and PNP0A06 Container Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
323 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
324 default (ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY || ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU || ACPI_HOTPLUG_IO)
326 This allows _physical_ insertion and removal of CPUs and memory.
327 This can be useful, for example, on NUMA machines that support
328 ACPI based physical hotplug of nodes, or non-NUMA machines that
329 support physical cpu/memory hot-plug.
331 If one selects "m", this driver can be loaded with
332 "modprobe acpi_container".
334 config ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY
335 tristate "Memory Hotplug"
337 depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG
340 This driver adds supports for ACPI Memory Hotplug. This driver
341 provides support for fielding notifications on ACPI memory
342 devices (PNP0C80) which represent memory ranges that may be
343 onlined or offlined during runtime.
345 Enabling this driver assumes that your platform hardware
346 and firmware have support for hot-plugging physical memory. If
347 your system does not support physically adding or ripping out
348 memory DIMMs at some platform defined granularity (individually
349 or as a bank) at runtime, then you need not enable this driver.
351 If one selects "m," this driver can be loaded using the following
353 $>modprobe acpi_memhotplug
356 tristate "Smart Battery System (EXPERIMENTAL)"
357 depends on X86 && I2C
358 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
360 This driver adds support for the Smart Battery System.
361 Depends on I2C (Device Drivers ---> I2C support)
362 A "Smart Battery" is quite old and quite rare compared
363 to today's ACPI "Control Method" battery.
