ACPI_FUJITSU(4)                    BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual                   ACPI_FUJITSU(4)

NAME
     acpi_fujitsu — Fujitsu Laptop Extras

SYNOPSIS
     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configura‐
     tion file:

           device acpi_fujitsu

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in
     loader.conf(5):

           acpi_fujitsu_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION
     The acpi_fujitsu driver enables the ACPI-controlled buttons on Fujitsu notebooks.  The but‐
     ton events are sent to userspace via devd(8), and a sysctl(8) interface is provided to simu‐
     late the hardware events.

     Using this driver, one can control the brightness of the display, the volume of the speak‐
     ers, and the internal (eraserhead) mouse pointer.

SYSCTL VARIABLES
     These sysctls are currently implemented:

     hw.acpi.fujitsu.lcd_brightness
             Makes the LCD backlight brighter or dimmer.

     hw.acpi.fujitsu.pointer_enable
             Enables or disables the internal mouse pointer.

     hw.acpi.fujitsu.volume
             Controls the speaker volume.

     hw.acpi.fujitsu.mute
             Mutes the speakers.

     Defaults for these sysctls can be set in sysctl.conf(5).

EXAMPLES
     The following can be added to devd.conf(5) in order to pass button events to a
     /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh script:

           notify 10 {
                   match "system"          "ACPI";
                   match "subsystem"       "FUJITSU";
                   action "/usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh $notify fujitsu";
           };

     A possible /usr/local/sbin/acpi_oem_exec.sh script might look like:

           #!/bin/sh
           #
           if [ "$1" = "" -o "$2" = "" ]
           then
                   echo "usage: $0 notify oem_name"
                   exit 1
