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 components, 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.
