Debian                                            July 2, 2012                                  ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)

       The acpi_asus_wmi driver provides support for the extra WMI-controlled gadgets, such as hotkeys and leds,
       found  on Asus laptops.  It allows one to use the sysctl(8) interface to manipulate the brightness of the
       LCD panel and keyboard backlight, power on/off different internal components, such  as  WiFi,  Bluetooth,
       camera,  cardreader,  etc,  read  some sensors.  Hotkey events are passed to devd(8) for easy handling in
       userspace with the default configuration in /etc/devd/asus.conf.  Some hotkey events,  such  as  keyboard
       backlight and touchpad control, are handled inside the driver.

       The acpi_asus_wmi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.

       To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

             deviceacpi_asus_wmi

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

             acpi_asus_wmi_load="YES"

       The following sysctls are currently implemented:

       dev.acpi_asus_wmi.0.handle_keys
               Specifies  whether  driver  should  handle  some  harwdare  keys,  such  as  keyboard  backlight,
               internally.

       Number of other variables under the same sysctl branch are model-specific.

       Defaults for these variables can be set in sysctl.conf(5), which is parsed at boot-time.
