27 depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL
28 ---help---
29 This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
30 IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
31 The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
32 ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
33 processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
34 a user space API.
35 The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
36 service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
37 this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be
38 enabled.

67 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
68 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
69 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
70 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.

81 host adapter, such as 'TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter
82 support', if you have a TI PCI74xx compatible card reader, for
83 example.

218 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
219 For more information about this driver see
220 <file:Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and
221 <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .

228 bool "Verbose debug mode"
229 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
230 default n

237config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
238 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
239 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
240 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
241 default n
242 ---help---
243 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
244 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
245 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
246 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
247 devices.
248
249 If you are not sure, say N here.
250
251config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
252 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
253 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI

256 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
257 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
258 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.

263 bool "Video output control support"
264 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
265 default y
266 ---help---
267 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
268 the various video output ports.
269
270 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
271 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
272 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
273 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
274 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
275 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
276
277 If you are not sure, say Y here.

279config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
280 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
281 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
282 default y
283 ---help---
284 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
285 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
286 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
287 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
288
289 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
290 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
291
292 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
293 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
294 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
295
296 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
297 it is strictly necessary to do so.
