NAME
acpi_toshiba - Toshiba HCI interface
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
device acpi_toshiba
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):
acpi_toshiba_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
HCI is Toshiba’s Hardware Control Interface which is somewhat uniform
across their models. The acpi_toshiba driver allows the user to
manipulate HCI-controlled hardware using a number of sysctl(8) variables.
SYSCTL VARIABLES
The following sysctls are currently implemented:
hw.acpi.toshiba.force_fan
Causes active cooling to be forcibly enabled (‘1’) or disabled
(‘0’) regardless of the current temperature.
hw.acpi.toshiba.video_output
Sets the active display to use according to a bitwise OR of the
following:
0 No display
1 LCD
2 CRT
4 TV-Out
Only some systems (i.e., the Libretto L5) support video switching
via this hardware-specific driver. Use the acpi_video(4) driver
for generic video output support.
hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_brightness
Makes the LCD backlight brighter or dimmer (higher values are
brighter).
hw.acpi.toshiba.lcd_backlight
Turns the LCD backlight on and off.
hw.acpi.toshiba.cpu_speed
Sets the CPU speed to the specified speed. This provides
functionality similar to the hw.acpi.cpu.throttle_state variable.
Higher sysctl values mean lower CPU speeds.
Defaults for these variables can be set in sysctl.conf(5), which is
parsed at boot-time.
LOADER TUNABLES
The hw.acpi.toshiba.enable_fn_keys tunable enables or disables the
function keys on the keyboard. Function keys are enabled by default.
This behaviour can be changed at the loader(8) prompt or in
loader.conf(5).
