# # Misc strange devices # menuconfig MISC_DEVICES bool "Misc devices" default y ---help--- Say Y here to get to see options for device drivers from various different categories. This option alone does not add any kernel code. If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled. if MISC_DEVICES config IBM_ASM tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor" depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL ---help--- This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems. The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with a user space API. The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be enabled. WARNING: This software may not be supported or function correctly on your IBM server. Please consult the IBM ServerProven website for information on the specific driver level and support statement for your IBM server. config PHANTOM tristate "Sensable PHANToM" depends on PCI help Say Y here if you want to build a driver for Sensable PHANToM device.

Otherwise say N. config TIFM_CORE tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI help If you want support for Texas Instruments(R) Flash Media adapters you should select this option and then also choose an appropriate host adapter, such as 'TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter support', if you have a TI PCI74xx compatible card reader, for example. You will also have to select some flash card format drivers. MMC/SD cards are supported via 'MMC/SD Card support: TI Flash Media MMC/SD Interface support (MMC_TIFM_SD)'. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called tifm_core. config TIFM_7XX1 tristate "TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on PCI && TIFM_CORE && EXPERIMENTAL default TIFM_CORE help This option enables support for Texas Instruments(R) PCI74xx and PCI76xx families of Flash Media adapters, found in many laptops. To make actual use of the device, you will have to select some flash card format drivers, as outlined in the TIFM_CORE Help. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called tifm_7xx1. config ACER_WMI tristate "Acer WMI Laptop Extras (EXPERIMENTAL)" depends on X86 depends on EXPERIMENTAL depends on ACPI depends on ACPI_WMI depends on LEDS_CLASS depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE ---help--- This is a driver for newer Acer (and Wistron) laptops.

It may also support some MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs. For more information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra buttons see . If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. config FUJITSU_LAPTOP tristate "Fujitsu Laptop Extras" depends on X86 depends on ACPI depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE ---help--- This is a driver for laptops built by Fujitsu: * P2xxx/P5xxx/S6xxx/S7xxx series Lifebooks * Possibly other Fujitsu laptop models It adds support for LCD brightness control. If you have a Fujitsu laptop, say Y or M here. config TC1100_WMI tristate "HP Compaq TC1100 Tablet WMI Extras" depends on X86 && !X86_64 depends on ACPI depends on ACPI_WMI ---help--- This is a driver for the WMI extensions (wireless and bluetooth power control) of the HP Compaq TC1100 tablet. config MSI_LAPTOP tristate "MSI Laptop Extras" depends on X86 depends on ACPI_EC depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE ---help--- This is a driver for laptops built by MSI (MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL): MSI MegaBook S270 (MS-1013) Cytron/TCM/Medion/Tchibo MD96100/SAM2000 It adds support for Bluetooth, WLAN and LCD brightness control. More information about this driver is available at . If you have an MSI S270 laptop, say Y or M here. config SONY_LAPTOP tristate "Sony Laptop Extras" depends on X86 && ACPI select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE depends on INPUT ---help--- This mini-driver drives the SNC and SPIC devices present in the ACPI BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops. It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities like Bluetooth, screen brightness control, Fn keys and allows powering on/off some devices. Read for more information. config SONYPI_COMPAT bool "Sonypi compatibility" depends on SONY_LAPTOP ---help--- Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver. config THINKPAD_ACPI tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras" depends on X86 && ACPI select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE select HWMON select NVRAM depends on INPUT ---help--- This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more. For more information about this driver see and . This driver was formerly known as ibm-acpi. If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here. config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG bool "Verbose debug mode" depends on THINKPAD_ACPI default n ---help--- Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly increase in driver size. If you are not sure, say N here. config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK bool "Legacy Docking Station Support" depends on THINKPAD_ACPI depends on ACPI_DOCK=n default n ---help--- Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events. This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI devices. If you are not sure, say N here. config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support" depends on THINKPAD_ACPI default y ---help--- Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted. If you are not sure, say Y here. config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys" depends on THINKPAD_ACPI default y ---help--- Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use, unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory. ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions. NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute, Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12). If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if it is strictly necessary to do so. config ATMEL_SSC tristate "Device driver for Atmel SSC peripheral" depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91 ---help--- This option enables device driver support for Atmel Syncronized Serial Communication peripheral (SSC).
