259 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
260 bool "Verbose debug mode"
261 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
264 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
265 increase in driver size.
267 If you are not sure, say N here.
269 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
270 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
271 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
272 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
275 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
276 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
277 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
278 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
281 If you are not sure, say N here.
283 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
284 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
285 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
288 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
289 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
290 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
292 If you are not sure, say Y here.
294 config THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO
295 bool "Video output control support"
296 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
299 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
300 the various video output ports.
302 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
303 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
304 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
305 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
306 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
307 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
309 If you are not sure, say Y here.
311 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
312 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
313 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
316 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
317 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
318 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
319 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
321 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
322 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
324 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
325 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
326 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
328 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
329 it is strictly necessary to do so.
332 tristate "Device driver for Atmel SSC peripheral"
333 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
335 This option enables device driver support for Atmel Syncronized
336 Serial Communication peripheral (SSC).
