Nifty tools for your Asus Eee PC

07-17-2008 08:00 AM
It didn't take the enterprising community of Asus Eee PC users long to come up with some great tweaking tools for this Linux-based ultra-low-cost laptop. Just a few weeks after the official launch of Eee PC, the first tweaking utilities started to appear on the EeeUser forums. Today, you can choose from a wide selection of tools that can help you to customize your tiny laptop and make your work on it more efficient.

ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)					   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					  ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)

NAME

     acpi_asus_wmi -- Asus Laptop WMI Extras

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device acpi_asus_wmi

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   acpi_asus_wmi_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The acpi_asus_wmi driver provides support for the extra WMI-controlled gadgets, such as hotkeys and leds, found on Asus laptops.  It allows
     one to use the sysctl(8) interface to manipulate the brightness of the LCD panel and keyboard backlight, power on/off different internal com-
     ponents, such as WiFi, Bluetooth, camera, cardreader, etc, read some sensors.  Hotkey events are passed to devd(8) for easy handling in
     userspace with the default configuration in /etc/devd/asus.conf.  Some hotkey events, such as keyboard backlight and touchpad control, are
     handled inside the driver.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

     The following sysctls are currently implemented:

     dev.acpi_asus_wmi.0.handle_keys
	     Specifies whether driver should handle some harwdare keys, such as keyboard backlight, internally.

     Number of other variables under the same sysctl branch are model-specific.

     Defaults for these variables can be set in sysctl.conf(5), which is parsed at boot-time.

HISTORY

     The acpi_asus_wmi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
