to support vendor specific features found in various laptops.
The following WMI mappings are supported:
wmidell Dell laptops

HISTORY
The acpiwmi device driver appeared in NetBSD 6.0.
AUTHORS
Jukka Ruohonen <jruohonen@iki.fi> wrote acpiwmi and most of the mappings.
CAVEATS
While WMI should provide a certain degree of portability across laptop models from a particular vendor, there is no guarantee that the map-
pings are functional in all models.
The wmihp driver may conflict with hpqlb(4).

Here's a conundrum. I use a ThinkPad (T30) which has a slot on the side for the hard drive. It is very easy to swap this with another hard drive which I keep as a backup.

However, that did not work the system... (10 Replies)
I run Devuan ASCII on my T400 laptop. I only use the trackpoint ("nipple mouse"). To me, the touchpad is just a nuisance.
I've discovered (by monitoring output of sudo cat /dev/input/event5) that the touchpad generates random input while the lid is closed. This causes applications that should... (5 Replies)
