acpi_toshiba(4)

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 some
what uniform
across their models. The acpi_toshiba driver allows the us
er 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 bit
wise OR of the
following:
0 No display
1 LCD
2 CRT
4 TV-Out
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 dis
ables the function keys on the keyboard. Function keys are enabled by de
fault.
This behaviour can be changed at the loader(8) prompt or in
loader.conf(5).
