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:
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).
