17 tristate "Atmel AT32/AT91 PWM support"
18 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
20 This option enables device driver support for the PWM channels
21 on certain Atmel prcoessors. Pulse Width Modulation is used for
22 purposes including software controlled power-efficent backlights
23 on LCD displays, motor control, and waveform generation.
26 bool "Atmel AT32/AT91 Timer/Counter Library"
27 depends on (AVR32 || ARCH_AT91)
29 Select this if you want a library to allocate the Timer/Counter
30 blocks found on many Atmel processors. This facilitates using
31 these blocks by different drivers despite processor differences.
33 config ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC
34 bool "TC Block Clocksource"
35 depends on ATMEL_TCLIB && GENERIC_TIME
38 Select this to get a high precision clocksource based on a
39 TC block with a 5+ MHz base clock rate. Two timer channels
40 are combined to make a single 32-bit timer.
42 When GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS is defined, the third timer channel
43 may be used as a clock event device supporting oneshot mode
44 (delays of up to two seconds) based on the 32 KiHz clock.
46 config ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC_BLOCK
48 depends on ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC
49 prompt "TC Block" if ARCH_AT91RM9200 || ARCH_AT91SAM9260 || CPU_AT32AP700X
53 Some chips provide more than one TC block, so you have the
54 choice of which one to use for the clock framework. The other
55 TC can be used for other purposes, such as PWM generation and
59 tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"
60 depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL
62 This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
63 IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
64 The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
65 ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
66 processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with

99 tristate "SGI IOC4 Base IO support"
102 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
103 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
104 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
105 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.
107 If you have an SGI Altix with an IOC4-based card say Y.
111 tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
112 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI

169 This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
170 MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
171 standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
172 support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and

197 config FUJITSU_LAPTOP_DEBUG
198 bool "Verbose debug mode for Fujitsu Laptop Extras"
199 depends on FUJITSU_LAPTOP
202 Enables extra debug output from the fujitsu extras driver, at the
203 expense of a slight increase in driver size.

284 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
287 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
288 depends on X86 && ACPI
289 select BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT
290 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
299 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
300 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
301 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
302 For more information about this driver see
303 <file:Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and
304 <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
306 This driver was formerly known as ibm-acpi.
308 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
310 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
311 bool "Verbose debug mode"
312 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
315 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
316 increase in driver size.
318 If you are not sure, say N here.
320 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
321 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
322 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
323 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
326 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
327 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
328 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
329 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
332 If you are not sure, say N here.
334 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
335 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
336 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
339 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
340 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
341 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
343 If you are not sure, say Y here.
345 config THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO
346 bool "Video output control support"
347 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
350 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
351 the various video output ports.
353 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
354 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
355 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
356 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
357 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
358 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
360 If you are not sure, say Y here.
362 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
363 bool "Support NVRAM polling for hot keys"
364 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
367 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
368 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
369 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
370 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
372 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
373 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
375 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
376 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
377 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
379 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
380 it is strictly necessary to do so.
383 tristate "Device driver for Atmel SSC peripheral"
384 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
386 This option enables device driver support for Atmel Syncronized
387 Serial Communication peripheral (SSC).
389 The SSC peripheral supports a wide variety of serial frame based
390 communications, i.e. I2S, SPI, etc.
395 tristate "Thermal Management driver for Intel menlow platform"
396 depends on ACPI_THERMAL
400 ACPI thermal management enhancement driver on
401 Intel Menlow platform.
406 tristate "Eee PC Hotkey Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
409 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
411 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
413 This driver supports the Fn-Fx keys on Eee PC laptops.
414 It also adds the ability to switch camera/wlan on/off.
416 If you have an Eee PC laptop, say Y or M here.
418 config ENCLOSURE_SERVICES
419 tristate "Enclosure Services"
422 Provides support for intelligent enclosures (bays which
423 contain storage devices). You also need either a host
424 driver (SCSI/ATA) which supports enclosures
425 or a SCSI enclosure device (SES) to use these services.
428 tristate "Support communication between SGI SSIs"
430 depends on (IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2 || IA64_SGI_UV || X86_64) && SMP
431 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
432 select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
433 select SGI_GRU if (IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_UV || X86_64) && SMP
435 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
436 Images which act independently of each other and have
437 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
438 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
439 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.
442 tristate "Channel interface driver for HP iLO/iLO2 processor"
446 The channel interface driver allows applications to communicate
447 with iLO/iLO2 management processors present on HP ProLiant
448 servers. Upon loading, the driver creates /dev/hpilo/dXccbN files,
449 which can be used to gather data from the management processor,
450 via read and write system calls.
452 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
453 module will be called hpilo.
456 tristate "SGI GRU driver"
457 depends on (X86_64 || IA64_SGI_UV || IA64_GENERIC) && SMP
461 The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU
462 contains memory that can be mmapped into the user address space. This memory is
463 used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as load/store,
464 scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly accessed by user
465 instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU instructions (ex., bcopy) use
466 user virtual addresses for operands.
468 If you are not running on a SGI UV system, say N.
471 bool "SGI GRU driver debug"
475 This option enables addition debugging code for the SGI GRU driver. If
476 you are unsure, say N.
