58 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
59 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
60 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
61 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.

119 This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
120 MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
121 standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
122 support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and
123 Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs.
125 For more information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra
126 buttons see <http://acpi4asus.sf.net/>.

160 This is a driver for laptops built by MSI (MICRO-STAR
163 MSI MegaBook S270 (MS-1013)
164 Cytron/TCM/Medion/Tchibo MD96100/SAM2000
166 It adds support for Bluetooth, WLAN and LCD brightness control.

171 If you have an MSI S270 laptop, say Y or M here.
174 tristate "Sony Laptop Extras"
175 depends on X86 && ACPI
176 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
179 This mini-driver drives the SNC and SPIC devices present in the ACPI
180 BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
182 It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities like Bluetooth,
183 screen brightness control, Fn keys and allows powering on/off some
186 Read <file:Documentation/sony-laptop.txt> for more information.
189 bool "Sonypi compatibility"
190 depends on SONY_LAPTOP
192 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
195 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
196 depends on X86 && ACPI
197 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
202 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
203 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
204 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
205 For more information about this driver see
206 <file:Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
208 This driver was formerly known as ibm-acpi.
210 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
212 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
213 bool "Verbose debug mode"
214 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
217 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
218 increase in driver size.
220 If you are not sure, say N here.
222 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
223 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
224 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
225 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
228 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
229 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
230 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
231 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
234 If you are not sure, say N here.
236 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
237 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
238 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
241 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
242 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
243 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
245 If you are not sure, say Y here.
247 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
248 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
249 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
252 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
253 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
254 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
255 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
257 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
258 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
260 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
261 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
262 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
264 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
265 it is strictly necessary to do so.
268 tristate "Device driver for Atmel SSC peripheral"
269 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
271 This option enables device driver support for Atmel Syncronized
272 Serial Communication peripheral (SSC).
274 The SSC peripheral supports a wide variety of serial frame based
275 communications, i.e. I2S, SPI, etc.
280 tristate "Thermal Management driver for Intel menlow platform"
281 depends on ACPI_THERMAL
283 ACPI thermal management enhancement driver on
284 Intel Menlow platform.
288 config ENCLOSURE_SERVICES
289 tristate "Enclosure Services"
292 Provides support for intelligent enclosures (bays which
293 contain storage devices). You also need either a host
294 driver (SCSI/ATA) which supports enclosures
295 or a SCSI enclosure device (SES) to use these services.
