1 ThinkPad ACPI Extras Driver 2 3 Version 0.19 4 January 06th, 2008 5 6 Borislav Deianov <borislav@users.sf.net> 7 Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> 8 http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ 9 10 11This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It 12supports various features of these laptops which are accessible 13through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully 14supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers. 15 16This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release 170.13-20070314. It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was 18moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel 192.6.22, and release 0.14. 20 21 22Status 23------ 24 25The features currently supported are the following (see below for 26detailed description): 27 28 - Fn key combinations 29 - Bluetooth enable and disable 30 - video output switching, expansion control 31 - ThinkLight on and off 32 - limited docking and undocking 33 - UltraBay eject 34 - CMOS control 35 - LED control 36 - ACPI sounds 37 - temperature sensors 38 - Experimental: embedded controller register dump 39 - LCD brightness control 40 - Volume control 41 - Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable 42 - Experimental: WAN enable and disable 43 44A compatibility table by model and feature is maintained on the web 45site, http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/. I appreciate any success or failure 46reports, especially if they add to or correct the compatibility table. 47Please include the following information in your report: 48 49 - ThinkPad model name 50 - a copy of your DSDT, from /proc/acpi/dsdt 51 - a copy of the output of dmidecode, with serial numbers 52 and UUIDs masked off 53 - which driver features work and which don't 54 - the observed behavior of non-working features 55 56Any other comments or patches are also more than welcome. 57 58 59Installation 60------------ 61 62If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel 63sources, simply enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI option, and optionally 64enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY option if you want the 65thinkpad-specific bay functionality. 66 67Features 68-------- 69 70The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be 71used to access the features it provides. One is a legacy procfs-based 72interface, which will be removed at some time in the distant future. 73The other is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet. 74 75The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory. There is a 76file under that directory for each feature it supports. The procfs 77interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it 78will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead 79all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface. 80 81The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems 82and classes as much as possible. Since some of these subsystems are not 83yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change, 84and any and all userspace programs must deal with it. 85 86 87Notes about the sysfs interface: 88 89Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking 90to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the 91thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces. 92 93Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the 94thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for 95maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in 96non-compatible ways. As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and 97in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare. 98 99Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must 100follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs 101interface makes extensive use of errors). File descriptors and open / 102close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented. 103 104The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver 105as a driver attribute (see below). 106 107Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space, 108for 2.6.23 this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_acpi/ and 109/sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_hwmon/ 110 111Sysfs device attributes are on the thinkpad_acpi device sysfs attribute 112space, for 2.6.23 this is /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/. 113 114Sysfs device attributes for the sensors and fan are on the 115thinkpad_hwmon device's sysfs attribute space, but you should locate it 116looking for a hwmon device with the name attribute of "thinkpad". 117 118Driver version 119-------------- 120 121procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/driver 122sysfs driver attribute: version 123 124The driver name and version. No commands can be written to this file. 125 126Sysfs interface version 127----------------------- 128 129sysfs driver attribute: interface_version 130 131Version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface, as an unsigned long 132(output in hex format: 0xAAAABBCC), where: 133 AAAA - major revision 134 BB - minor revision 135 CC - bugfix revision 136 137The sysfs interface version changelog for the driver can be found at the 138end of this document. Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel 139subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this 140attribute. 141 142Changes to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface are only considered 143non-experimental when they are submitted to Linux mainline, at which 144point the changes in this interface are documented and interface_version 145may be updated. If you are using any thinkpad-acpi features not yet 146sent to mainline for merging, you do so on your own risk: these features 147may disappear, or be implemented in a different and incompatible way by 148the time they are merged in Linux mainline. 149 150Changes that are backwards-compatible by nature (e.g. the addition of 151attributes that do not change the way the other attributes work) do not 152always warrant an update of interface_version. Therefore, one must 153expect that an attribute might not be there, and deal with it properly 154(an attribute not being there *is* a valid way to make it clear that a 155feature is not available in sysfs). 156 157Hot keys 158-------- 159 160procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey 161sysfs device attribute: hotkey_* 162 163In a ThinkPad, the ACPI HKEY handler is responsible for communicating 164some important events and also keyboard hot key presses to the operating 165system. Enabling the hotkey functionality of thinkpad-acpi signals the 166firmware that such a driver is present, and modifies how the ThinkPad 167firmware will behave in many situations. 168 169The driver enables the hot key feature automatically when loaded. The 170feature can later be disabled and enabled back at runtime. The driver 171will also restore the hot key feature to its previous state and mask 172when it is unloaded. 173 174When the hotkey feature is enabled and the hot key mask is set (see 175below), the driver will report HKEY events in the following format: 176 177 ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx 178 179Some of these events refer to hot key presses, but not all. 180 181The driver will generate events over the input layer for hot keys and 182radio switches, and over the ACPI netlink layer for other events. The 183input layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes 184assigned to each hot key. 185 186The hot key bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate 187events. If a key is "masked" (bit set to 0 in the mask), the firmware 188will handle it. If it is "unmasked", it signals the firmware that 189thinkpad-acpi would prefer to handle it, if the firmware would be so 190kind to allow it (and it often doesn't!). 191 192Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that can be 193modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually controlled 194by the mask. Some models do not support the mask at all, and in those 195models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually. The behaviour of 196the mask is, therefore, highly dependent on the ThinkPad model. 197 198Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior. For 199example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable 200Bluetooth by itself. 201 202Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI. 203For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM" buttons 204do not generate ACPI events even with this driver. They *can* be used 205through the "ThinkPad Buttons" utility, see http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/ 206 207procfs notes: 208 209The following commands can be written to the /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey file: 210 211 echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable the hot keys feature 212 echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable the hot keys feature 213 echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable all hot keys 214 echo 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable all possible hot keys 215 ... any other 8-hex-digit mask ... 216 echo reset > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- restore the original mask 217 218The procfs interface does not support NVRAM polling control. So as to 219maintain maximum bug-to-bug compatibility, it does not report any masks, 220nor does it allow one to manipulate the hot key mask when the firmware 221does not support masks at all, even if NVRAM polling is in use. 222 223sysfs notes: 224 225 hotkey_bios_enabled: 226 Returns the status of the hot keys feature when 227 thinkpad-acpi was loaded. Upon module unload, the hot 228 key feature status will be restored to this value. 229 230 0: hot keys were disabled 231 1: hot keys were enabled (unusual) 232 233 hotkey_bios_mask: 234 Returns the hot keys mask when thinkpad-acpi was loaded. 235 Upon module unload, the hot keys mask will be restored 236 to this value. 237 238 hotkey_enable: 239 Enables/disables the hot keys feature in the ACPI 240 firmware, and reports current status of the hot keys 241 feature. Has no effect on the NVRAM hot key polling 242 functionality. 243 244 0: disables the hot keys feature / feature disabled 245 1: enables the hot keys feature / feature enabled 246 247 hotkey_mask: 248 bit mask to enable driver-handling (and depending on 249 the firmware, ACPI event generation) for each hot key 250 (see above). Returns the current status of the hot keys 251 mask, and allows one to modify it. 252 253 Note: when NVRAM polling is active, the firmware mask 254 will be different from the value returned by 255 hotkey_mask. The driver will retain enabled bits for 256 hotkeys that are under NVRAM polling even if the 257 firmware refuses them, and will not set these bits on 258 the firmware hot key mask. 259 260 hotkey_all_mask: 261 bit mask that should enable event reporting for all 262 supported hot keys, when echoed to hotkey_mask above. 263 Unless you know which events need to be handled 264 passively (because the firmware *will* handle them 265 anyway), do *not* use hotkey_all_mask. Use 266 hotkey_recommended_mask, instead. You have been warned. 267 268 hotkey_recommended_mask: 269 bit mask that should enable event reporting for all 270 supported hot keys, except those which are always 271 handled by the firmware anyway. Echo it to 272 hotkey_mask above, to use. 273 274 hotkey_source_mask: 275 bit mask that selects which hot keys will the driver 276 poll the NVRAM for. This is auto-detected by the driver 277 based on the capabilities reported by the ACPI firmware, 278 but it can be overridden at runtime. 279 280 Hot keys whose bits are set in both hotkey_source_mask 281 and also on hotkey_mask are polled for in NVRAM. Only a 282 few hot keys are available through CMOS NVRAM polling. 283 284 Warning: when in NVRAM mode, the volume up/down/mute 285 keys are synthesized according to changes in the mixer, 286 so you have to use volume up or volume down to unmute, 287 as per the ThinkPad volume mixer user interface. When 288 in ACPI event mode, volume up/down/mute are reported as 289 separate events, but this behaviour may be corrected in 290 future releases of this driver, in which case the 291 ThinkPad volume mixer user interface semantics will be 292 enforced. 293 294 hotkey_poll_freq: 295 frequency in Hz for hot key polling. It must be between 296 0 and 25 Hz. Polling is only carried out when strictly 297 needed. 298 299 Setting hotkey_poll_freq to zero disables polling, and 300 will cause hot key presses that require NVRAM polling 301 to never be reported. 302 303 Setting hotkey_poll_freq too low will cause repeated 304 pressings of the same hot key to be misreported as a 305 single key press, or to not even be detected at all. 306 The recommended polling frequency is 10Hz. 307 308 hotkey_radio_sw: 309 If the ThinkPad has a hardware radio switch, this 310 attribute will read 0 if the switch is in the "radios 311 disabled" position, and 1 if the switch is in the 312 "radios enabled" position. 313 314 This attribute has poll()/select() support. 315 316 hotkey_tablet_mode: 317 If the ThinkPad has tablet capabilities, this attribute 318 will read 0 if the ThinkPad is in normal mode, and 319 1 if the ThinkPad is in tablet mode. 320 321 This attribute has poll()/select() support. 322 323 hotkey_report_mode: 324 Returns the state of the procfs ACPI event report mode 325 filter for hot keys. If it is set to 1 (the default), 326 all hot key presses are reported both through the input 327 layer and also as ACPI events through procfs (but not 328 through netlink). If it is set to 2, hot key presses 329 are reported only through the input layer. 330 331 This attribute is read-only in kernels 2.6.23 or later, 332 and read-write on earlier kernels. 333 334 May return -EPERM (write access locked out by module 335 parameter) or -EACCES (read-only). 336 337 wakeup_reason: 338 Set to 1 if the system is waking up because the user 339 requested a bay ejection. Set to 2 if the system is 340 waking up because the user requested the system to 341 undock. Set to zero for normal wake-ups or wake-ups 342 due to unknown reasons. 343 344 This attribute has poll()/select() support. 345 346 wakeup_hotunplug_complete: 347 Set to 1 if the system was waken up because of an 348 undock or bay ejection request, and that request 349 was successfully completed. At this point, it might 350 be useful to send the system back to sleep, at the 351 user's choice. Refer to HKEY events 0x4003 and 352 0x3003, below. 353 354 This attribute has poll()/select() support. 355 356input layer notes: 357 358A Hot key is mapped to a single input layer EV_KEY event, possibly 359followed by an EV_MSC MSC_SCAN event that shall contain that key's scan 360code. An EV_SYN event will always be generated to mark the end of the 361event block. 362 363Do not use the EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events to process keys. They are to be 364used as a helper to remap keys, only. They are particularly useful when 365remapping KEY_UNKNOWN keys. 366 367The events are available in an input device, with the following id: 368 369 Bus: BUS_HOST 370 vendor: 0x1014 (PCI_VENDOR_ID_IBM) or 371 0x17aa (PCI_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO) 372 product: 0x5054 ("TP") 373 version: 0x4101 374 375The version will have its LSB incremented if the keymap changes in a 376backwards-compatible way. The MSB shall always be 0x41 for this input 377device. If the MSB is not 0x41, do not use the device as described in 378this section, as it is either something else (e.g. another input device 379exported by a thinkpad driver, such as HDAPS) or its functionality has 380been changed in a non-backwards compatible way. 381 382Adding other event types for other functionalities shall be considered a 383backwards-compatible change for this input device. 384 385Thinkpad-acpi Hot Key event map (version 0x4101): 386 387ACPI Scan 388event code Key Notes 389 3900x1001 0x00 FN+F1 - 3910x1002 0x01 FN+F2 IBM: battery (rare) 392 Lenovo: Screen lock 393 3940x1003 0x02 FN+F3 Many IBM models always report 395 this hot key, even with hot keys 396 disabled or with Fn+F3 masked 397 off 398 IBM: screen lock 399 Lenovo: battery 400 4010x1004 0x03 FN+F4 Sleep button (ACPI sleep button 402 semantics, i.e. sleep-to-RAM). 403 It is always generate some kind 404 of event, either the hot key 405 event or a ACPI sleep button 406 event. The firmware may 407 refuse to generate further FN+F4 408 key presses until a S3 or S4 ACPI 409 sleep cycle is performed or some 410 time passes. 411 4120x1005 0x04 FN+F5 Radio. Enables/disables 413 the internal Bluetooth hardware 414 and W-WAN card if left in control 415 of the firmware. Does not affect 416 the WLAN card. 417 Should be used to turn on/off all 418 radios (Bluetooth+W-WAN+WLAN), 419 really. 420 4210x1006 0x05 FN+F6 - 422 4230x1007 0x06 FN+F7 Video output cycle. 424 Do you feel lucky today? 425 4260x1008 0x07 FN+F8 IBM: toggle screen expand 427 Lenovo: configure UltraNav 428 4290x1009 0x08 FN+F9 - 430 .. .. .. 4310x100B 0x0A FN+F11 - 432 4330x100C 0x0B FN+F12 Sleep to disk. You are always 434 supposed to handle it yourself, 435 either through the ACPI event, 436 or through a hotkey event. 437 The firmware may refuse to 438 generate further FN+F4 key 439 press events until a S3 or S4 440 ACPI sleep cycle is performed, 441 or some time passes. 442 4430x100D 0x0C FN+BACKSPACE - 4440x100E 0x0D FN+INSERT - 4450x100F 0x0E FN+DELETE - 446 4470x1010 0x0F FN+HOME Brightness up. This key is 448 always handled by the firmware 449 in IBM ThinkPads, even when 450 unmasked. Just leave it alone. 451 For Lenovo ThinkPads with a new 452 BIOS, it has to be handled either 453 by the ACPI OSI, or by userspace. 4540x1011 0x10 FN+END Brightness down. See brightness 455 up for details. 456 4570x1012 0x11 FN+PGUP ThinkLight toggle.

This 466 key is always handled by the 467 firmware, even when unmasked. 468 NOTE: Lenovo seems to be changing 469 this. 4700x1016 0x15 VOLUME DOWN Internal mixer volume up. This 471 key is always handled by the 472 firmware, even when unmasked. 473 NOTE: Lenovo seems to be changing 474 this. 4750x1017 0x16 MUTE Mute internal mixer. This 476 key is always handled by the 477 firmware, even when unmasked. 478 4790x1018 0x17 THINKPAD ThinkPad/Access IBM/Lenovo key 480 4810x1019 0x18 unknown 482.. .. .. 4830x1020 0x1F unknown 484 485The ThinkPad firmware does not allow one to differentiate when most hot 486keys are pressed or released (either that, or we don't know how to, yet). 487For these keys, the driver generates a set of events for a key press and 488immediately issues the same set of events for a key release. It is 489unknown by the driver if the ThinkPad firmware triggered these events on 490hot key press or release, but the firmware will do it for either one, not 491both. 492 493If a key is mapped to KEY_RESERVED, it generates no input events at all. 494If a key is mapped to KEY_UNKNOWN, it generates an input event that 495includes an scan code. If a key is mapped to anything else, it will 496generate input device EV_KEY events. 497 498In addition to the EV_KEY events, thinkpad-acpi may also issue EV_SW 499events for switches: 500 501SW_RADIO T60 and later hardare rfkill rocker switch 502SW_TABLET_MODE Tablet ThinkPads HKEY events 0x5009 and 0x500A 503 504Non hot-key ACPI HKEY event map: 5050x5001 Lid closed 5060x5002 Lid opened 5070x5009 Tablet swivel: switched to tablet mode 5080x500A Tablet swivel: switched to normal mode 5090x7000 Radio Switch may have changed state 510 511The above events are not propagated by the driver, except for legacy 512compatibility purposes when hotkey_report_mode is set to 1. 513 5140x2304 System is waking up from suspend to undock 5150x2305 System is waking up from suspend to eject bay 5160x2404 System is waking up from hibernation to undock 5170x2405 System is waking up from hibernation to eject bay 518 519The above events are never propagated by the driver. 520 5210x3003 Bay ejection (see 0x2x05) complete, can sleep again 5220x4003 Undocked (see 0x2x04), can sleep again 5230x500B Tablet pen inserted into its storage bay 5240x500C Tablet pen removed from its storage bay 5250x5010 Brightness level changed (newer Lenovo BIOSes) 526 527The above events are propagated by the driver. 528 529Compatibility notes: 530 531ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi 0.15 (mainline kernels before 2.6.23) never 532supported the input layer, and sent events over the procfs ACPI event 533interface. 534 535To avoid sending duplicate events over the input layer and the ACPI 536event interface, thinkpad-acpi 0.16 implements a module parameter 537(hotkey_report_mode), and also a sysfs device attribute with the same 538name. 539 540Make no mistake here: userspace is expected to switch to using the input 541layer interface of thinkpad-acpi, together with the ACPI netlink event 542interface in kernels 2.6.23 and later, or with the ACPI procfs event 543interface in kernels 2.6.22 and earlier. 544 545If no hotkey_report_mode module parameter is specified (or it is set to 546zero), the driver defaults to mode 1 (see below), and on kernels 2.6.22 547and earlier, also allows one to change the hotkey_report_mode through 548sysfs. In kernels 2.6.23 and later, where the netlink ACPI event 549interface is available, hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed through 550sysfs (it is read-only). 551 552If the hotkey_report_mode module parameter is set to 1 or 2, it cannot 553be changed later through sysfs (any writes will return -EPERM to signal 554that hotkey_report_mode was locked. On 2.6.23 and later, where 555hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed at all, writes will return -EACCES). 556 557hotkey_report_mode set to 1 makes the driver export through the procfs 558ACPI event interface all hot key presses (which are *also* sent to the 559input layer). This is a legacy compatibility behaviour, and it is also 560the default mode of operation for the driver. 561 562hotkey_report_mode set to 2 makes the driver filter out the hot key 563presses from the procfs ACPI event interface, so these events will only 564be sent through the input layer. Userspace that has been updated to use 565the thinkpad-acpi input layer interface should set hotkey_report_mode to 5662. 567 568Hot key press events are never sent to the ACPI netlink event interface. 569Really up-to-date userspace under kernel 2.6.23 and later is to use the 570netlink interface and the input layer interface, and don't bother at all 571with hotkey_report_mode. 572 573 574Bluetooth 575--------- 576 577procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth 578sysfs device attribute: bluetooth_enable 579 580This feature shows the presence and current state of a ThinkPad 581Bluetooth device in the internal ThinkPad CDC slot. 582 583Procfs notes: 584 585If Bluetooth is installed, the following commands can be used: 586 587 echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth 588 echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth 589 590Sysfs notes: 591 592 If the Bluetooth CDC card is installed, it can be enabled / 593 disabled through the "bluetooth_enable" thinkpad-acpi device 594 attribute, and its current status can also be queried. 595 596 enable: 597 0: disables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is disabled 598 1: enables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is enabled. 599 600 Note: this interface will be probably be superseded by the 601 generic rfkill class, so it is NOT to be considered stable yet. 602 603Video output control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/video 604-------------------------------------------- 605 606This feature allows control over the devices used for video output - 607LCD, CRT or DVI (if available). The following commands are available: 608 609 echo lcd_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 610 echo lcd_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 611 echo crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 612 echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 613 echo dvi_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 614 echo dvi_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 615 echo auto_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 616 echo auto_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 617 echo expand_toggle > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 618 echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 619 620Each video output device can be enabled or disabled individually. 621Reading /proc/acpi/ibm/video shows the status of each device. 622 623Automatic video switching can be enabled or disabled. When automatic 624video switching is enabled, certain events (e.g. opening the lid, 625docking or undocking) cause the video output device to change 626automatically. While this can be useful, it also causes flickering 627and, on the X40, video corruption. By disabling automatic switching, 628the flickering or video corruption can be avoided. 629 630The video_switch command cycles through the available video outputs 631(it simulates the behavior of Fn-F7). 632 633Video expansion can be toggled through this feature. This controls 634whether the display is expanded to fill the entire LCD screen when a 635mode with less than full resolution is used. Note that the current 636video expansion status cannot be determined through this feature. 637 638Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics 639chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents 640Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching 641features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as 642Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work. 643 644UPDATE: There's now a patch for the X.org Radeon driver which 645addresses this issue. Some people are reporting success with the patch 646while others are still having problems. For more information: 647 648https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2000 649 650ThinkLight control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/light 651------------------------------------------ 652 653The current status of the ThinkLight can be found in this file. A few 654models which do not make the status available will show it as 655"unknown". The available commands are: 656 657 echo on > /proc/acpi/ibm/light 658 echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light 659 660Docking / undocking -- /proc/acpi/ibm/dock 661------------------------------------------ 662 663Docking and undocking (e.g. with the X4 UltraBase) requires some 664actions to be taken by the operating system to safely make or break 665the electrical connections with the dock. 666 667The docking feature of this driver generates the following ACPI events: 668 669 ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001 -- eject request 670 ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000002 -- undocked 671 ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003 -- docked 672 673NOTE: These events will only be generated if the laptop was docked 674when originally booted. This is due to the current lack of support for 675hot plugging of devices in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was 676booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the 677logs: 678 679 Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present 680 681In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and 682undock commands described below still work. They can be executed 683manually or triggered by Fn key combinations (see the example acpid 684configuration files included in the driver tarball package available 685on the web site). 686 687When the eject request button on the dock is pressed, the first event 688above is generated. The handler for this event should issue the 689following command: 690 691 echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock 692 693After the LED on the dock goes off, it is safe to eject the laptop. 694Note: if you pressed this key by mistake, go ahead and eject the 695laptop, then dock it back in. Otherwise, the dock may not function as 696expected. 697 698When the laptop is docked, the third event above is generated. The 699handler for this event should issue the following command to fully 700enable the dock: 701 702 echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock 703 704The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file shows the current status 705of the dock, as provided by the ACPI framework. 706 707The docking support in this driver does not take care of enabling or 708disabling any other devices you may have attached to the dock. For 709example, a CD drive plugged into the UltraBase needs to be disabled or 710enabled separately. See the provided example acpid configuration files 711for how this can be accomplished. 712 713There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a 714docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently 715does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that 716the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series 717UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the 718latter don't need any ACPI support, actually). 719 720UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay 721------------------------------------ 722 723Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be 724taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical 725connections with the device. 726 727This feature generates the following ACPI events: 728 729 ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request 730 ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted 731 732NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present 733when the laptop was originally booted (on the X series, the UltraBay 734is in the dock, so it may not be present if the laptop was undocked). 735This is due to the current lack of support for hot plugging of devices 736in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the 737UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs: 738 739 Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present 740 741In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject 742command described below still works. It can be executed manually or 743triggered by a hot key combination. 744 745Sliding the eject lever generates the first event shown above. The 746handler for this event should take whatever actions are necessary to 747shut down the device in the UltraBay (e.g. call idectl), then issue 748the following command: 749 750 echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay 751 752After the LED on the UltraBay goes off, it is safe to pull out the 753device. 754 755When the eject lever is inserted, the second event above is 756generated. The handler for this event should take whatever actions are 757necessary to enable the UltraBay device (e.g. call idectl). 758 759The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/bay file shows the current status 760of the UltraBay, as provided by the ACPI framework. 761 762EXPERIMENTAL warm eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x (To use 763this feature, you need to supply the experimental=1 parameter when 764loading the module): 765 766These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request 767a hot eject but rather require the laptop to be put to sleep 768(suspend-to-ram) before the bay device is ejected or inserted). 769The sequence of steps to eject the device is as follows: 770 771 echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay 772 put the ThinkPad to sleep 773 remove the drive 774 resume from sleep 775 cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bay should show that the drive was removed 776 777On the A3x, both the UltraBay 2000 and UltraBay Plus devices are 778supported. Use "eject2" instead of "eject" for the second bay. 779 780Note: the UltraBay eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x is 781EXPERIMENTAL and may not work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION! 782 783CMOS control 784------------ 785 786procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos 787sysfs device attribute: cmos_command 788 789This feature is mostly used internally by the ACPI firmware to keep the legacy 790CMOS NVRAM bits in sync with the current machine state, and to record this 791state so that the ThinkPad will retain such settings across reboots. 792 793Some of these commands actually perform actions in some ThinkPad models, but 794this is expected to disappear more and more in newer models. As an example, in 795a T43 and in a X40, commands 12 and 13 still control the ThinkLight state for 796real, but commands 0 to 2 don't control the mixer anymore (they have been 797phased out) and just update the NVRAM. 798 799The range of valid cmos command numbers is 0 to 21, but not all have an 800effect and the behavior varies from model to model. Here is the behavior 801on the X40 (tpb is the ThinkPad Buttons utility): 802 803 0 - Related to "Volume down" key press 804 1 - Related to "Volume up" key press 805 2 - Related to "Mute on" key press 806 3 - Related to "Access IBM" key press 807 4 - Related to "LCD brightness up" key press 808 5 - Related to "LCD brightness down" key press 809 11 - Related to "toggle screen expansion" key press/function 810 12 - Related to "ThinkLight on" 811 13 - Related to "ThinkLight off" 812 14 - Related to "ThinkLight" key press (toggle ThinkLight) 813 814The cmos command interface is prone to firmware split-brain problems, as 815in newer ThinkPads it is just a compatibility layer. Do not use it, it is 816exported just as a debug tool. 817 818LED control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/led 819--------------------------------- 820 821Some of the LED indicators can be controlled through this feature. The 822available commands are: 823 824 echo '<led number> on' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led 825 echo '<led number> off' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led 826 echo '<led number> blink' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led 827 828The <led number> range is 0 to 7. The set of LEDs that can be 829controlled varies from model to model. Here is the mapping on the X40: 830 831 0 - power 832 1 - battery (orange) 833 2 - battery (green) 834 3 - UltraBase 835 4 - UltraBay 836 7 - standby 837 838All of the above can be turned on and off and can be made to blink. 839 840ACPI sounds -- /proc/acpi/ibm/beep 841---------------------------------- 842 843The BEEP method is used internally by the ACPI firmware to provide 844audible alerts in various situations. This feature allows the same 845sounds to be triggered manually. 846 847The commands are non-negative integer numbers: 848 849 echo <number> >/proc/acpi/ibm/beep 850 851The valid <number> range is 0 to 17. Not all numbers trigger sounds 852and the sounds vary from model to model. Here is the behavior on the 853X40: 854 855 0 - stop a sound in progress (but use 17 to stop 16) 856 2 - two beeps, pause, third beep ("low battery") 857 3 - single beep 858 4 - high, followed by low-pitched beep ("unable") 859 5 - single beep 860 6 - very high, followed by high-pitched beep ("AC/DC") 861 7 - high-pitched beep 862 9 - three short beeps 863 10 - very long beep 864 12 - low-pitched beep 865 15 - three high-pitched beeps repeating constantly, stop with 0 866 16 - one medium-pitched beep repeating constantly, stop with 17 867 17 - stop 16 868 869Temperature sensors 870------------------- 871 872procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal 873sysfs device attributes: (hwmon "thinkpad") temp*_input 874 875Most ThinkPads include six or more separate temperature sensors but only 876expose the CPU temperature through the standard ACPI methods. This 877feature shows readings from up to eight different sensors on older 878ThinkPads, and up to sixteen different sensors on newer ThinkPads. 879 880For example, on the X40, a typical output may be: 881temperatures: 42 42 45 41 36 -128 33 -128 882 883On the T43/p, a typical output may be: 884temperatures: 48 48 36 52 38 -128 31 -128 48 52 48 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 885 886The mapping of thermal sensors to physical locations varies depending on 887system-board model (and thus, on ThinkPad model). 888 889http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors is a public wiki page that 890tries to track down these locations for various models. 891 892Most (newer?) models seem to follow this pattern: 893 8941: CPU 8952: (depends on model) 8963: (depends on model) 8974: GPU 8985: Main battery: main sensor 8996: Bay battery: main sensor 9007: Main battery: secondary sensor 9018: Bay battery: secondary sensor 9029-15: (depends on model) 903 904For the R51 (source: Thomas Gruber): 9052: Mini-PCI 9063: Internal HDD 907 908For the T43, T43/p (source: Shmidoax/Thinkwiki.org) 909http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_T43.2C_T43p 9102: System board, left side (near PCMCIA slot), reported as HDAPS temp 9113: PCMCIA slot 9129: MCH (northbridge) to DRAM Bus 91310: Clock-generator, mini-pci card and ICH (southbridge), under Mini-PCI 914 card, under touchpad 91511: Power regulator, underside of system board, below F2 key 916 917The A31 has a very atypical layout for the thermal sensors 918(source: Milos Popovic, http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_A31) 9191: CPU 9202: Main Battery: main sensor 9213: Power Converter 9224: Bay Battery: main sensor 9235: MCH (northbridge) 9246: PCMCIA/ambient 9257: Main Battery: secondary sensor 9268: Bay Battery: secondary sensor 927 928 929Procfs notes: 930 Readings from sensors that are not available return -128. 931 No commands can be written to this file. 932 933Sysfs notes: 934 Sensors that are not available return the ENXIO error. This 935 status may change at runtime, as there are hotplug thermal 936 sensors, like those inside the batteries and docks. 937 938 thinkpad-acpi thermal sensors are reported through the hwmon 939 subsystem, and follow all of the hwmon guidelines at 940 Documentation/hwmon. 941 942 943EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump -- /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump 944------------------------------------------------------------------------ 945 946This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation 947directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE 948WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the 949experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. 950 951This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller 952registers. Values which have changed since the last time the registers 953were dumped are marked with a star: 954 955[root@x40 ibm-acpi]# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump 956EC +00 +01 +02 +03 +04 +05 +06 +07 +08 +09 +0a +0b +0c +0d +0e +0f 957EC 0x00: a7 47 87 01 fe 96 00 08 01 00 cb 00 00 00 40 00 958EC 0x10: 00 00 ff ff f4 3c 87 09 01 ff 42 01 ff ff 0d 00 959EC 0x20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 43 00 00 80 960EC 0x30: 01 07 1a 00 30 04 00 00 *85 00 00 10 00 50 00 00 961EC 0x40: 00 00 00 00 00 00 14 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 962EC 0x50: 00 c0 02 0d 00 01 01 02 02 03 03 03 03 *bc *02 *bc 963EC 0x60: *02 *bc *02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 964EC 0x70: 00 00 00 00 00 12 30 40 *24 *26 *2c *27 *20 80 *1f 80 965EC 0x80: 00 00 00 06 *37 *0e 03 00 00 00 0e 07 00 00 00 00 966EC 0x90: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 967EC 0xa0: *ff 09 ff 09 ff ff *64 00 *00 *00 *a2 41 *ff *ff *e0 00 968EC 0xb0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 969EC 0xc0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 970EC 0xd0: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 971EC 0xe0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 20 49 04 24 06 55 03 972EC 0xf0: 31 55 48 54 35 38 57 57 08 2f 45 73 07 65 6c 1a 973 974This feature can be used to determine the register holding the fan 975speed on some models. To do that, do the following: 976 977 - make sure the battery is fully charged 978 - make sure the fan is running 979 - run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump' several times, once per second or so 980 981The first step makes sure various charging-related values don't 982vary. The second ensures that the fan-related values do vary, since 983the fan speed fluctuates a bit. The third will (hopefully) mark the 984fan register with a star: 985 986[root@x40 ibm-acpi]# cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump 987EC +00 +01 +02 +03 +04 +05 +06 +07 +08 +09 +0a +0b +0c +0d +0e +0f 988EC 0x00: a7 47 87 01 fe 96 00 08 01 00 cb 00 00 00 40 00 989EC 0x10: 00 00 ff ff f4 3c 87 09 01 ff 42 01 ff ff 0d 00 990EC 0x20: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 43 00 00 80 991EC 0x30: 01 07 1a 00 30 04 00 00 85 00 00 10 00 50 00 00 992EC 0x40: 00 00 00 00 00 00 14 01 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 993EC 0x50: 00 c0 02 0d 00 01 01 02 02 03 03 03 03 bc 02 bc 994EC 0x60: 02 bc 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 995EC 0x70: 00 00 00 00 00 12 30 40 24 27 2c 27 21 80 1f 80 996EC 0x80: 00 00 00 06 *be 0d 03 00 00 00 0e 07 00 00 00 00 997EC 0x90: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 998EC 0xa0: ff 09 ff 09 ff ff 64 00 00 00 a2 41 ff ff e0 00 999EC 0xb0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1000EC 0xc0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1001EC 0xd0: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1002EC 0xe0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 11 20 49 04 24 06 55 03 1003EC 0xf0: 31 55 48 54 35 38 57 57 08 2f 45 73 07 65 6c 1a 1004 1005Another set of values that varies often is the temperature 1006readings.

Some of the levels 1032may not be distinct. Later Lenovo models that implement the ACPI 1033display backlight brightness control methods have 16 levels, ranging 1034from 0 to 15. 1035 1036There are two interfaces to the firmware for direct brightness control, 1037EC and CMOS. To select which one should be used, use the 1038brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode, 1039brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects both EC 1040and CMOS. The driver tries to auto-detect which interface to use. 1041 1042When display backlight brightness controls are available through the 1043standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct 1044ThinkPad-specific interface. The driver will disable its native 1045backlight brightness control interface if it detects that the standard 1046ACPI interface is available in the ThinkPad. 1047 1048The brightness_enable module parameter can be used to control whether 1049the LCD brightness control feature will be enabled when available. 1050brightness_enable=0 forces it to be disabled. brightness_enable=1 1051forces it to be enabled when available, even if the standard ACPI 1052interface is also available. 1053 1054Procfs notes: 1055 1056 The available commands are: 1057 1058 echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness 1059 echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness 1060 echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness 1061 1062Sysfs notes: 1063 1064The interface is implemented through the backlight sysfs class, which is 1065poorly documented at this time. 1066 1067Locate the thinkpad_screen device under /sys/class/backlight, and inside 1068it there will be the following attributes: 1069 1070 max_brightness: 1071 Reads the maximum brightness the hardware can be set to. 1072 The minimum is always zero. 1073 1074 actual_brightness: 1075 Reads what brightness the screen is set to at this instant. 1076 1077 brightness: 1078 Writes request the driver to change brightness to the 1079 given value. Reads will tell you what brightness the 1080 driver is trying to set the display to when "power" is set 1081 to zero and the display has not been dimmed by a kernel 1082 power management event. 1083 1084 power: 1085 power management mode, where 0 is "display on", and 1 to 3 1086 will dim the display backlight to brightness level 0 1087 because thinkpad-acpi cannot really turn the backlight 1088 off. Kernel power management events can temporarily 1089 increase the current power management level, i.e. they can 1090 dim the display. 1091 1092 1093Volume control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/volume 1094--------------------------------------- 1095 1096This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models which don't have 1097a hardware volume knob. The available commands are: 1098 1099 echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume 1100 echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume 1101 echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume 1102 echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume 1103 1104The <level> number range is 0 to 15 although not all of them may be 1105distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the 1106up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume). 1107The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file. 1108 1109Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable 1110--------------------------------------------------------- 1111 1112procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 1113sysfs device attributes: (hwmon "thinkpad") fan1_input, pwm1, 1114 pwm1_enable 1115sysfs hwmon driver attributes: fan_watchdog 1116 1117NOTE NOTE NOTE: fan control operations are disabled by default for 1118safety reasons. To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1" 1119must be given to thinkpad-acpi. 1120 1121This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and 1122other fan data that might be available. The speed is read directly 1123from the hardware registers of the embedded controller. This is known 1124to work on later R, T, X and Z series ThinkPads but may show a bogus 1125value on other models. 1126 1127Fan levels: 1128 1129Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels" at the firmware interface. Level 0 1130stops the fan. The higher the level, the higher the fan speed, although 1131adjacent levels often map to the same fan speed. 7 is the highest 1132level, where the fan reaches the maximum recommended speed. 1133 1134Level "auto" means the EC changes the fan level according to some 1135internal algorithm, usually based on readings from the thermal sensors. 1136 1137There is also a "full-speed" level, also known as "disengaged" level. 1138In this level, the EC disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control, 1139and drives the fan as fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware 1140limits, so use this level with caution. 1141 1142The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another, and 1143it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan 1144commands. The full-speed level may take up to two minutes to ramp up to 1145maximum speed, and in some ThinkPads, the tachometer readings go stale 1146while the EC is transitioning to the full-speed level. 1147 1148WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are 1149monitoring all of the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to 1150enable it if necessary to avoid overheating. 1151 1152An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the 1153ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow. This is 1154normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the various thermal readings 1155rise too much. 1156 1157On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures. 1158Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature 1159climbs to 56 degrees or the HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees. The 1160fan is turned off when the CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the 1161HDD temperature drops to 41 degrees. These thresholds cannot 1162currently be controlled. 1163 1164The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when 1165certain conditions are met. It will override any fan programming done 1166through thinkpad-acpi. 1167 1168The thinkpad-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan 1169level to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the procfs 1170fan commands: "enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog", or if there 1171are no writes to pwm1_enable (or to pwm1 *if and only if* pwm1_enable is 1172set to 1, manual mode) within a configurable amount of time of up to 1173120 seconds. This functionality is called fan safety watchdog. 1174 1175Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan. It will be 1176rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of the 1177above mentioned fan commands is received. The fan watchdog is, 1178therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made through 1179means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" procfs fan 1180commands, or the hwmon fan control sysfs interface. 1181 1182Procfs notes: 1183 1184The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands: 1185 1186 echo enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan 1187 echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan 1188 1189Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it. Enabling a fan 1190will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled. 1191 1192The fan level can be controlled with the command: 1193 1194 echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 1195 1196Where <level> is an integer from 0 to 7, or one of the words "auto" or 1197"full-speed" (without the quotes). Not all ThinkPads support the "auto" 1198and "full-speed" levels. The driver accepts "disengaged" as an alias for 1199"full-speed", and reports it as "disengaged" for backwards 1200compatibility. 1201 1202On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be 1203controlled to a certain degree. Once the fan is running, it can be 1204forced to run faster or slower with the following command: 1205 1206 echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 1207 1208The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from about 12093700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have any 1210effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that range. The 1211fan cannot be stopped or started with this command. This functionality 1212is incomplete, and not available through the sysfs interface. 1213 1214To program the safety watchdog, use the "watchdog" command. 1215 1216 echo 'watchdog <interval in seconds>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan 1217 1218If you want to disable the watchdog, use 0 as the interval. 1219 1220Sysfs notes: 1221 1222The sysfs interface follows the hwmon subsystem guidelines for the most 1223part, and the exception is the fan safety watchdog. 1224 1225Writes to any of the sysfs attributes may return the EINVAL error if 1226that operation is not supported in a given ThinkPad or if the parameter 1227is out-of-bounds, and EPERM if it is forbidden. They may also return 1228EINTR (interrupted system call), and EIO (I/O error while trying to talk 1229to the firmware). 1230 1231Features not yet implemented by the driver return ENOSYS. 1232 1233hwmon device attribute pwm1_enable: 1234 0: PWM offline (fan is set to full-speed mode) 1235 1: Manual PWM control (use pwm1 to set fan level) 1236 2: Hardware PWM control (EC "auto" mode) 1237 3: reserved (Software PWM control, not implemented yet) 1238 1239 Modes 0 and 2 are not supported by all ThinkPads, and the 1240 driver is not always able to detect this. If it does know a 1241 mode is unsupported, it will return -EINVAL. 1242 1243hwmon device attribute pwm1: 1244 Fan level, scaled from the firmware values of 0-7 to the hwmon 1245 scale of 0-255. 0 means fan stopped, 255 means highest normal 1246 speed (level 7). 1247 1248 This attribute only commands the fan if pmw1_enable is set to 1 1249 (manual PWM control). 1250 1251hwmon device attribute fan1_input: 1252 Fan tachometer reading, in RPM. May go stale on certain 1253 ThinkPads while the EC transitions the PWM to offline mode, 1254 which can take up to two minutes. May return rubbish on older 1255 ThinkPads. 1256 1257hwmon driver attribute fan_watchdog: 1258 Fan safety watchdog timer interval, in seconds. Minimum is 1259 1 second, maximum is 120 seconds. 0 disables the watchdog. 1260 1261To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1. 1262 1263To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2. If that fails 1264with EINVAL, try to set pwm1_enable to 1 and pwm1 to at least 128 (255 1265would be the safest choice, though). 1266 1267 1268EXPERIMENTAL: WAN 1269----------------- 1270 1271procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/wan 1272sysfs device attribute: wwan_enable 1273 1274This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation 1275directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE 1276WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the 1277experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. 1278 1279This feature shows the presence and current state of a W-WAN (Sierra 1280Wireless EV-DO) device. 1281 1282It was tested on a Lenovo ThinkPad X60. It should probably work on other 1283ThinkPad models which come with this module installed. 1284 1285Procfs notes: 1286 1287If the W-WAN card is installed, the following commands can be used: 1288 1289 echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan 1290 echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan 1291 1292Sysfs notes: 1293 1294 If the W-WAN card is installed, it can be enabled / 1295 disabled through the "wwan_enable" thinkpad-acpi device 1296 attribute, and its current status can also be queried. 1297 1298 enable: 1299 0: disables WWAN card / WWAN card is disabled 1300 1: enables WWAN card / WWAN card is enabled. 1301 1302 Note: this interface will be probably be superseded by the 1303 generic rfkill class, so it is NOT to be considered stable yet. 1304 1305Multiple Commands, Module Parameters 1306------------------------------------ 1307 1308Multiple commands can be written to the proc files in one shot by 1309separating them with commas, for example: 1310 1311 echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey 1312 echo lcd_disable,crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video 1313 1314Commands can also be specified when loading the thinkpad-acpi module, 1315for example: 1316 1317 modprobe thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff video=auto_disable 1318 1319Enabling debugging output 1320------------------------- 1321 1322The module takes a debug parameter which can be used to selectively 1323enable various classes of debugging output, for example: 1324 1325 modprobe thinkpad_acpi debug=0xffff 1326 1327will enable all debugging output classes. It takes a bitmask, so 1328to enable more than one output class, just add their values. 1329 1330 Debug bitmask Description 1331 0x0001 Initialization and probing 1332 0x0002 Removal 1333 1334There is also a kernel build option to enable more debugging 1335information, which may be necessary to debug driver problems. 1336 1337The level of debugging information output by the driver can be changed 1338at runtime through sysfs, using the driver attribute debug_level. The 1339attribute takes the same bitmask as the debug module parameter above. 1340 1341Force loading of module 1342----------------------- 1343 1344If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify 1345the module parameter force_load=1. Regardless of whether this works or 1346not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report. 1347 1348 1349Sysfs interface changelog: 1350 13510x000100: Initial sysfs support, as a single platform driver and 1352 device. 13530x000200: Hot key support for 32 hot keys, and radio slider switch 1354 support. 13550x010000: Hot keys are now handled by default over the input 1356 layer, the radio switch generates input event EV_RADIO, 1357 and the driver enables hot key handling by default in 1358 the firmware. 1359 13600x020000: ABI fix: added a separate hwmon platform device and 1361 driver, which must be located by name (thinkpad) 1362 and the hwmon class for libsensors4 (lm-sensors 3) 1363 compatibility. Moved all hwmon attributes to this 1364 new platform device. 1365 13660x020100: Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling 1367 support. If you must, use it to know you should not 1368 start an userspace NVRAM poller (allows to detect when 1369 NVRAM is compiled out by the user because it is 1370 unneeded/undesired in the first place). 13710x020101: Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling 1372 and proper hotkey_mask semantics (version 8 of the 1373 NVRAM polling patch). Some development snapshots of 1374 0.18 had an earlier version that did strange things 1375 to hotkey_mask. 1376 13770x020200: Add poll()/select() support to the following attributes: 1378 hotkey_radio_sw, wakeup_hotunplug_complete, wakeup_reason
