9 Say Y here to get to see options for device drivers from various
10 different categories. This option alone does not add any kernel code.
12 If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.
17 tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"
18 depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL
20 This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
21 IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
22 The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
23 ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
24 processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with
26 The ibmasm driver also enables the OS to use the UART on the
27 service processor board as a regular serial port. To make use of
28 this feature serial driver support (CONFIG_SERIAL_8250) must be

38 tristate "Sensable PHANToM"
41 Say Y here if you want to build a driver for Sensable PHANToM device.
43 If you choose to build module, its name will be phantom. If unsure,
47 tristate "EEPROM 93CX6 support"
49 This is a driver for the EEPROM chipsets 93c46 and 93c66.
50 The driver supports both read as well as write commands.
55 tristate "SGI IOC4 Base IO support"
58 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
59 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
60 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
61 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.
63 If you have an SGI Altix with an IOC4-based card say Y.
67 tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
68 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI
70 If you want support for Texas Instruments(R) Flash Media adapters
71 you should select this option and then also choose an appropriate
72 host adapter, such as 'TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter
73 support', if you have a TI PCI74xx compatible card reader, for
75 You will also have to select some flash card format drivers. MMC/SD

83 tristate "TI Flash Media PCI74xx/PCI76xx host adapter support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
84 depends on PCI && TIFM_CORE && EXPERIMENTAL
87 This option enables support for Texas Instruments(R) PCI74xx and
88 PCI76xx families of Flash Media adapters, found in many laptops.
89 To make actual use of the device, you will have to select some
90 flash card format drivers, as outlined in the TIFM_CORE Help.

96 tristate "Asus Laptop Extras (EXPERIMENTAL)"
99 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && !ACPI_ASUS
100 depends on LEDS_CLASS
101 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
103 This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
104 MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
105 standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
106 support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and
107 Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs.
109 For more information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra
110 buttons see <http://acpi4asus.sf.net/>.
112 If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here.
114 config FUJITSU_LAPTOP
115 tristate "Fujitsu Laptop Extras"
118 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
120 This is a driver for laptops built by Fujitsu:
122 * P2xxx/P5xxx/S6xxx/S7xxx series Lifebooks
123 * Possibly other Fujitsu laptop models
125 It adds support for LCD brightness control.
127 If you have a Fujitsu laptop, say Y or M here.
130 tristate "MSI Laptop Extras"
133 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
135 This is a driver for laptops built by MSI (MICRO-STAR
138 MSI MegaBook S270 (MS-1013)
139 Cytron/TCM/Medion/Tchibo MD96100/SAM2000
141 It adds support for Bluetooth, WLAN and LCD brightness control.
143 More information about this driver is available at
144 <http://0pointer.de/lennart/tchibo.html>.
146 If you have an MSI S270 laptop, say Y or M here.
149 tristate "Sony Laptop Extras"
150 depends on X86 && ACPI
151 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
153 This mini-driver drives the SNC and SPIC devices present in the ACPI
154 BIOS of the Sony Vaio laptops.
156 It gives access to some extra laptop functionalities like Bluetooth,
157 screen brightness control, Fn keys and allows powering on/off some
160 Read <file:Documentation/sony-laptop.txt> for more information.
163 bool "Sonypi compatibility"
164 depends on SONY_LAPTOP
166 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
169 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
170 depends on X86 && ACPI
171 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
175 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
176 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
177 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
178 For more information about this driver see
179 <file:Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
181 This driver was formely known as ibm-acpi.
183 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
185 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
186 bool "Verbose debug mode"
187 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
190 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
191 increase in driver size.
193 If you are not sure, say N here.
195 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
196 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
197 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
198 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
201 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
202 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
203 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
204 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
207 If you are not sure, say N here.
209 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
210 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
211 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
214 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
215 eletrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
216 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
218 If you are not sure, say Y here.
220 config THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED
221 bool "Enable input layer support by default"
222 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
225 This option enables thinkpad-acpi hot key handling over the input
226 layer at driver load time. When it is unset, the driver does not
227 enable hot key handling by default, and also starts up with a mostly
230 This option should be enabled if you have a new enough HAL or other
231 userspace support that properly handles the thinkpad-acpi event
232 device. It auto-tunes the hot key support to those reported by the
233 firmware and enables it automatically.
235 If unsure, say N here to retain the old behaviour of ibm-acpi, and
236 thinkpad-acpi up to kernel 2.6.21: userspace will have to enable and
237 set up the thinkpad-acpi hot key handling using the sysfs interace
238 after loading the driver.
