12 tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"
13 depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL
15 This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
16 IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
17 The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
18 ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
19 processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
21 The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
22 service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
23 this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be

33 tristate "Sensable PHANToM"
36 Say Y here if you want to build a driver for Sensable PHANToM device.
38 If you choose to build module, its name will be phantom. If unsure,
42 tristate "EEPROM 93CX6 support"
44 This is a driver for the EEPROM chipsets 93c46 and 93c66.
45 The driver supports both read as well as write commands.
50 tristate "SGI IOC4 Base IO support"
53 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
54 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
55 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
56 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.
58 If you have an SGI Altix with an IOC4-based card say Y.
62 tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
63 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI
65 If you want support for Texas Instruments(R) Flash Media adapters
66 you should select this option and then also choose an appropriate
67 host adapter, such as 'TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter
68 support', if you have a TI PCI74xx compatible card reader, for
70 You will also have to select some flash card format drivers. MMC/SD
71 cards are supported via 'MMC/SD Card support: TI Flash Media MMC/SD
72 Interface support (MMC_TIFM_SD)'.
74 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will
78 tristate "TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
79 depends on PCI && TIFM_CORE && EXPERIMENTAL
82 This option enables support for Texas Instruments(R) PCI74xx and
83 PCI76xx families of Flash Media adapters, found in many laptops.
84 To make actual use of the device, you will have to select some
85 flash card format drivers, as outlined in the TIFM_CORE Help.

91 tristate "Asus Laptop Extras (EXPERIMENTAL)"
94 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && !ACPI_ASUS
96 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
98 This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
99 MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
100 standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
101 support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and
102 Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs.
104 For more information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra
105 buttons see <http://acpi4asus.sf.net/>.
107 If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here.
110 tristate "MSI Laptop Extras"
113 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
115 This is a driver for laptops built by MSI (MICRO-STAR
118 MSI MegaBook S270 (MS-1013)
119 Cytron/TCM/Medion/Tchibo MD96100/SAM2000
121 It adds support for Bluetooth, WLAN and LCD brightness control.
123 More information about this driver is available at
124 <http://0pointer.de/lennart/tchibo.html>.
126 If you have an MSI S270 laptop, say Y or M here.
129 tristate "Sony Laptop Extras"
130 depends on X86 && ACPI
131 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
133 This mini-driver drives the SNC and SPIC devices present in the ACPI
134 BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
136 It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities like Bluetooth,
137 screen brightness control, Fn keys and allows powering on/off some
140 Read <file:Documentation/sony-laptop.txt> for more information.
143 bool "Sonypi compatibility"
144 depends on SONY_LAPTOP
146 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
149 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
150 depends on X86 && ACPI
151 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
155 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
156 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
157 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
158 For more information about this driver see
159 <file:Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
161 This driver was formely known as ibm-acpi.
163 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
165 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
166 bool "Verbose debug mode"
167 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
170 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
171 increase in driver size.
173 If you are not sure, say N here.
175 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
176 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
177 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
178 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
181 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
182 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
183 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
184 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
187 If you are not sure, say N here.
189 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
190 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
191 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
194 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
195 eletrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
196 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
198 If you are not sure, say Y here.
200 config THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED
201 bool "Enable input layer support by default"
202 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
205 This option enables thinkpad-acpi hot key handling over the input
206 layer at driver load time. When it is unset, the driver does not
207 enable hot key handling by default, and also starts up with a mostly
210 This option should be enabled if you have a new enough HAL or other
211 userspace support that properly handles the thinkpad-acpi event
212 device. It auto-tunes the hot key support to those reported by the
213 firmware and enables it automatically.
215 If unsure, say N here to retain the old behaviour of ibm-acpi, and
216 thinkpad-acpi up to kernel 2.6.21: userspace will have to enable and
217 set up the thinkpad-acpi hot key handling using the sysfs interace
218 after loading the driver.
