643f12db HMH |
11 | This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It |
12 | supports various features of these laptops which are accessible | |
13 | through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully | |
14 | supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers. | |
15 | ||
16 | This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release | |
17 | 0.13-20070314. It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was | |
18 | moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel | |
9abf0eea | 19 | 2.6.22, and release 0.14. It was moved to drivers/platform/x86 for |
aa2fbcec | 20 | kernel 2.6.29 and release 0.22. |

22 | The driver is named "thinkpad-acpi". In some places, like module |
23 | names, "thinkpad_acpi" is used because of userspace issues. | |
24 | ||
25 | "tpacpi" is used as a shorthand where "thinkpad-acpi" would be too | |
26 | long due to length limitations on some Linux kernel versions. | |

50 | A compatibility table by model and feature is maintained on the web | |
51 | site, http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/. I appreciate any success or failure | |
52 | reports, especially if they add to or correct the compatibility table. | |
53 | Please include the following information in your report: | |
54 | ||
55 | - ThinkPad model name | |
56 | - a copy of your DSDT, from /proc/acpi/dsdt | |
643f12db HMH |
57 | - a copy of the output of dmidecode, with serial numbers |
58 | and UUIDs masked off | |
1da177e4 LT |
59 | - which driver features work and which don't |
60 | - the observed behavior of non-working features | |
61 | ||
62 | Any other comments or patches are also more than welcome. | |
63 | ||
64 | ||
65 | Installation | |
66 | ------------ | |
67 | ||
68 | If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel | |
643f12db HMH |
69 | sources, simply enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI option, and optionally |
70 | enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY option if you want the | |
71 | thinkpad-specific bay functionality. | |

72 | |
73 | Features | |
74 | -------- | |
75 | ||
54ae1501 HMH |
76 | The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be |
77 | used to access the features it provides. One is a legacy procfs-based | |
78 | interface, which will be removed at some time in the distant future. | |
79 | The other is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet. | |
80 | ||
81 | The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory. There is a | |
82 | file under that directory for each feature it supports. The procfs | |
83 | interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it | |
84 | will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead | |
85 | all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface. | |
86 | ||
87 | The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems | |
88 | and classes as much as possible. Since some of these subsystems are not | |
89 | yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change, | |
90 | and any and all userspace programs must deal with it. | |
91 | ||
92 | ||
93 | Notes about the sysfs interface: | |
94 | ||
95 | Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking | |
96 | to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the | |
97 | thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces. | |
98 | ||
99 | Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the | |
100 | thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for | |
101 | maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in | |
102 | non-compatible ways. As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and | |
103 | in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare. | |
104 | ||
105 | Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must | |
106 | follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs | |
107 | interface makes extensive use of errors). File descriptors and open / | |
108 | close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented. | |
1da177e4 | 109 | |
176750d6 HMH |
110 | The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver |
111 | as a driver attribute (see below). | |
112 | ||
113 | Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space, | |
7fd40029 HMH |
114 | for 2.6.23 this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_acpi/ and |
115 | /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_hwmon/ | |
176750d6 | 116 | |
7fd40029 HMH |
117 | Sysfs device attributes are on the thinkpad_acpi device sysfs attribute |
118 | space, for 2.6.23 this is /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/. | |
119 | ||
120 | Sysfs device attributes for the sensors and fan are on the | |
121 | thinkpad_hwmon device's sysfs attribute space, but you should locate it | |
122 | looking for a hwmon device with the name attribute of "thinkpad". | |
176750d6 HMH |
123 | |
124 | Driver version | |
125 | -------------- | |
126 | ||
127 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/driver | |
128 | sysfs driver attribute: version | |
1da177e4 LT |
129 | |
130 | The driver name and version. No commands can be written to this file. | |
131 | ||
176750d6 HMH |
132 | Sysfs interface version |
133 | ----------------------- | |
134 | ||
135 | sysfs driver attribute: interface_version | |
136 | ||
137 | Version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface, as an unsigned long | |
138 | (output in hex format: 0xAAAABBCC), where: | |
139 | AAAA - major revision | |
140 | BB - minor revision | |
141 | CC - bugfix revision | |
142 | ||
143 | The sysfs interface version changelog for the driver can be found at the | |
144 | end of this document. Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel | |
145 | subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this | |
146 | attribute. | |
147 | ||
94b08713 HMH |
148 | Changes to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface are only considered |
149 | non-experimental when they are submitted to Linux mainline, at which | |
150 | point the changes in this interface are documented and interface_version | |
151 | may be updated. If you are using any thinkpad-acpi features not yet | |
152 | sent to mainline for merging, you do so on your own risk: these features | |
153 | may disappear, or be implemented in a different and incompatible way by | |
154 | the time they are merged in Linux mainline. | |
155 | ||
156 | Changes that are backwards-compatible by nature (e.g. the addition of | |
157 | attributes that do not change the way the other attributes work) do not | |
158 | always warrant an update of interface_version. Therefore, one must | |
159 | expect that an attribute might not be there, and deal with it properly | |
160 | (an attribute not being there *is* a valid way to make it clear that a | |
161 | feature is not available in sysfs). | |

163 | Hot keys |
164 | -------- | |
165 | ||
166 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey | |
cc4c24e1 | 167 | sysfs device attribute: hotkey_* |
1da177e4 | 168 | |
d0788cfb | 169 | In a ThinkPad, the ACPI HKEY handler is responsible for communicating |
1a343760 HMH |
170 | some important events and also keyboard hot key presses to the operating |
171 | system. Enabling the hotkey functionality of thinkpad-acpi signals the | |
172 | firmware that such a driver is present, and modifies how the ThinkPad | |
173 | firmware will behave in many situations. | |
174 | ||
ff80f137 HMH |
175 | The driver enables the hot key feature automatically when loaded. The |
176 | feature can later be disabled and enabled back at runtime. The driver | |
177 | will also restore the hot key feature to its previous state and mask | |
178 | when it is unloaded. | |
179 | ||
1a343760 | 180 | When the hotkey feature is enabled and the hot key mask is set (see |
ff80f137 | 181 | below), the driver will report HKEY events in the following format: |
1da177e4 LT |
182 | |
183 | ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx | |
184 | ||
ff80f137 | 185 | Some of these events refer to hot key presses, but not all. |
6a38abbf | 186 | |
ff80f137 HMH |
187 | The driver will generate events over the input layer for hot keys and |
188 | radio switches, and over the ACPI netlink layer for other events. The | |
189 | input layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes | |
190 | assigned to each hot key. | |
1a343760 HMH |
191 | |
192 | The hot key bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate | |
193 | events. If a key is "masked" (bit set to 0 in the mask), the firmware | |
194 | will handle it. If it is "unmasked", it signals the firmware that | |
195 | thinkpad-acpi would prefer to handle it, if the firmware would be so | |
196 | kind to allow it (and it often doesn't!). | |
197 | ||
198 | Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that can be | |
199 | modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually controlled | |
200 | by the mask. Some models do not support the mask at all, and in those | |
201 | models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually. The behaviour of | |
d0788cfb | 202 | the mask is, therefore, highly dependent on the ThinkPad model. |
1a343760 HMH |
203 | |
204 | Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior. For | |
205 | example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable | |
206 | Bluetooth by itself. | |
207 | ||
208 | Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI. | |
209 | For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM" buttons | |
210 | do not generate ACPI events even with this driver. They *can* be used | |
211 | through the "ThinkPad Buttons" utility, see http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/ | |

213 | procfs notes: |
214 | ||
215 | The following commands can be written to the /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey file: | |
216 | ||
217 | echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable the hot keys feature | |
218 | echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable the hot keys feature | |
ae92bd17 HMH |
219 | echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable all hot keys |
220 | echo 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable all possible hot keys | |
221 | ... any other 8-hex-digit mask ... | |
a0416420 HMH |
222 | echo reset > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- restore the original mask |
223 | ||
01e88f25 HMH |
224 | The procfs interface does not support NVRAM polling control. So as to |
225 | maintain maximum bug-to-bug compatibility, it does not report any masks, | |
226 | nor does it allow one to manipulate the hot key mask when the firmware | |
227 | does not support masks at all, even if NVRAM polling is in use. | |
228 | ||
a0416420 HMH |
229 | sysfs notes: |
230 | ||
cc4c24e1 | 231 | hotkey_bios_enabled: |
a0416420 HMH |
232 | Returns the status of the hot keys feature when |
233 | thinkpad-acpi was loaded. Upon module unload, the hot | |
234 | key feature status will be restored to this value. | |
235 | ||
236 | 0: hot keys were disabled | |
1a343760 | 237 | 1: hot keys were enabled (unusual) |
a0416420 | 238 | |
cc4c24e1 | 239 | hotkey_bios_mask: |
a0416420 HMH |
240 | Returns the hot keys mask when thinkpad-acpi was loaded. |
241 | Upon module unload, the hot keys mask will be restored | |
242 | to this value. | |
243 | ||
cc4c24e1 | 244 | hotkey_enable: |
01e88f25 HMH |
245 | Enables/disables the hot keys feature in the ACPI |
246 | firmware, and reports current status of the hot keys | |
247 | feature. Has no effect on the NVRAM hot key polling | |
248 | functionality. | |
a0416420 HMH |
249 | |
250 | 0: disables the hot keys feature / feature disabled | |
251 | 1: enables the hot keys feature / feature enabled | |
252 | ||
cc4c24e1 | 253 | hotkey_mask: |
01e88f25 HMH |
254 | bit mask to enable driver-handling (and depending on |
255 | the firmware, ACPI event generation) for each hot key | |
256 | (see above). Returns the current status of the hot keys | |
257 | mask, and allows one to modify it. | |
258 | ||
259 | Note: when NVRAM polling is active, the firmware mask | |
260 | will be different from the value returned by | |
261 | hotkey_mask. The driver will retain enabled bits for | |
262 | hotkeys that are under NVRAM polling even if the | |
263 | firmware refuses them, and will not set these bits on | |
264 | the firmware hot key mask. | |
a0416420 | 265 | |
9b010de5 HMH |
266 | hotkey_all_mask: |
267 | bit mask that should enable event reporting for all | |
268 | supported hot keys, when echoed to hotkey_mask above. | |
269 | Unless you know which events need to be handled | |
270 | passively (because the firmware *will* handle them | |
271 | anyway), do *not* use hotkey_all_mask. Use | |
272 | hotkey_recommended_mask, instead. You have been warned. | |
273 | ||
274 | hotkey_recommended_mask: | |
275 | bit mask that should enable event reporting for all | |
1a343760 HMH |
276 | supported hot keys, except those which are always |
277 | handled by the firmware anyway. Echo it to | |
278 | hotkey_mask above, to use. | |
9b010de5 | 279 | |
01e88f25 HMH |
280 | hotkey_source_mask: |
281 | bit mask that selects which hot keys will the driver | |
282 | poll the NVRAM for. This is auto-detected by the driver | |
283 | based on the capabilities reported by the ACPI firmware, | |
284 | but it can be overridden at runtime. | |
285 | ||
286 | Hot keys whose bits are set in both hotkey_source_mask | |
287 | and also on hotkey_mask are polled for in NVRAM. Only a | |
288 | few hot keys are available through CMOS NVRAM polling. | |
289 | ||
290 | Warning: when in NVRAM mode, the volume up/down/mute | |
291 | keys are synthesized according to changes in the mixer, | |
292 | so you have to use volume up or volume down to unmute, | |
293 | as per the ThinkPad volume mixer user interface. When | |
294 | in ACPI event mode, volume up/down/mute are reported as | |
295 | separate events, but this behaviour may be corrected in | |
296 | future releases of this driver, in which case the | |
d0788cfb | 297 | ThinkPad volume mixer user interface semantics will be |
01e88f25 HMH |
298 | enforced. |
299 | ||
300 | hotkey_poll_freq: | |
301 | frequency in Hz for hot key polling. It must be between | |
302 | 0 and 25 Hz. Polling is only carried out when strictly | |
303 | needed. | |
304 | ||
305 | Setting hotkey_poll_freq to zero disables polling, and | |
306 | will cause hot key presses that require NVRAM polling | |
307 | to never be reported. | |
308 | ||
309 | Setting hotkey_poll_freq too low will cause repeated | |
310 | pressings of the same hot key to be misreported as a | |
311 | single key press, or to not even be detected at all. | |
312 | The recommended polling frequency is 10Hz. | |
313 | ||
74941a69 | 314 | hotkey_radio_sw: |
d147da73 | 315 | If the ThinkPad has a hardware radio switch, this |
74941a69 | 316 | attribute will read 0 if the switch is in the "radios |
d0788cfb | 317 | disabled" position, and 1 if the switch is in the |
74941a69 HMH |
318 | "radios enabled" position. |
319 | ||
50ebec09 HMH |
320 | This attribute has poll()/select() support. |
321 | ||
6c231bd5 HMH |
322 | hotkey_tablet_mode: |
323 | If the ThinkPad has tablet capabilities, this attribute | |
324 | will read 0 if the ThinkPad is in normal mode, and | |
325 | 1 if the ThinkPad is in tablet mode. | |
326 | ||
327 | This attribute has poll()/select() support. | |
328 | ||
ff80f137 HMH |
329 | hotkey_report_mode: |
330 | Returns the state of the procfs ACPI event report mode | |
331 | filter for hot keys. If it is set to 1 (the default), | |
332 | all hot key presses are reported both through the input | |
333 | layer and also as ACPI events through procfs (but not | |
334 | through netlink). If it is set to 2, hot key presses | |
335 | are reported only through the input layer. | |
336 | ||
337 | This attribute is read-only in kernels 2.6.23 or later, | |
338 | and read-write on earlier kernels. | |
339 | ||
340 | May return -EPERM (write access locked out by module | |
341 | parameter) or -EACCES (read-only). | |
342 | ||
a713b4d7 HMH |
343 | wakeup_reason: |
344 | Set to 1 if the system is waking up because the user | |
345 | requested a bay ejection. Set to 2 if the system is | |
346 | waking up because the user requested the system to | |
347 | undock. Set to zero for normal wake-ups or wake-ups | |
348 | due to unknown reasons. | |
349 | ||
50ebec09 HMH |
350 | This attribute has poll()/select() support. |
351 | ||
a713b4d7 HMH |
352 | wakeup_hotunplug_complete: |
353 | Set to 1 if the system was waken up because of an | |
354 | undock or bay ejection request, and that request | |
d0788cfb | 355 | was successfully completed. At this point, it might |
a713b4d7 HMH |
356 | be useful to send the system back to sleep, at the |
357 | user's choice. Refer to HKEY events 0x4003 and | |
358 | 0x3003, below. | |
359 | ||
50ebec09 HMH |
360 | This attribute has poll()/select() support. |
361 | ||
6a38abbf HMH |
362 | input layer notes: |
363 | ||
364 | A Hot key is mapped to a single input layer EV_KEY event, possibly | |
365 | followed by an EV_MSC MSC_SCAN event that shall contain that key's scan | |
366 | code. An EV_SYN event will always be generated to mark the end of the | |
367 | event block. | |
368 | ||
369 | Do not use the EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events to process keys. They are to be | |
370 | used as a helper to remap keys, only. They are particularly useful when | |
371 | remapping KEY_UNKNOWN keys. | |
372 | ||
373 | The events are available in an input device, with the following id: | |
374 | ||
375 | Bus: BUS_HOST | |
edf0e0e5 HMH |
376 | vendor: 0x1014 (PCI_VENDOR_ID_IBM) or |
377 | 0x17aa (PCI_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO) | |
6a38abbf HMH |
378 | product: 0x5054 ("TP") |
379 | version: 0x4101 | |
380 | ||
381 | The version will have its LSB incremented if the keymap changes in a | |
382 | backwards-compatible way. The MSB shall always be 0x41 for this input | |
383 | device. If the MSB is not 0x41, do not use the device as described in | |
384 | this section, as it is either something else (e.g. another input device | |
385 | exported by a thinkpad driver, such as HDAPS) or its functionality has | |
386 | been changed in a non-backwards compatible way. | |
387 | ||
388 | Adding other event types for other functionalities shall be considered a | |
389 | backwards-compatible change for this input device. | |

491 | The ThinkPad firmware does not allow one to differentiate when most hot | |
492 | keys are pressed or released (either that, or we don't know how to, yet). | |
493 | For these keys, the driver generates a set of events for a key press and | |
494 | immediately issues the same set of events for a key release. It is | |
495 | unknown by the driver if the ThinkPad firmware triggered these events on | |
496 | hot key press or release, but the firmware will do it for either one, not | |
497 | both. | |
498 | ||
ff80f137 | 499 | If a key is mapped to KEY_RESERVED, it generates no input events at all. |
6a38abbf | 500 | If a key is mapped to KEY_UNKNOWN, it generates an input event that |
ff80f137 HMH |
501 | includes an scan code. If a key is mapped to anything else, it will |
502 | generate input device EV_KEY events. | |
6a38abbf | 503 | |

535 | Compatibility notes: |
536 | ||
537 | ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi 0.15 (mainline kernels before 2.6.23) never | |
538 | supported the input layer, and sent events over the procfs ACPI event | |
539 | interface. | |
540 | ||
541 | To avoid sending duplicate events over the input layer and the ACPI | |
542 | event interface, thinkpad-acpi 0.16 implements a module parameter | |
543 | (hotkey_report_mode), and also a sysfs device attribute with the same | |
544 | name. | |
545 | ||
546 | Make no mistake here: userspace is expected to switch to using the input | |
547 | layer interface of thinkpad-acpi, together with the ACPI netlink event | |
548 | interface in kernels 2.6.23 and later, or with the ACPI procfs event | |
549 | interface in kernels 2.6.22 and earlier. | |
550 | ||
551 | If no hotkey_report_mode module parameter is specified (or it is set to | |
552 | zero), the driver defaults to mode 1 (see below), and on kernels 2.6.22 | |
553 | and earlier, also allows one to change the hotkey_report_mode through | |
554 | sysfs. In kernels 2.6.23 and later, where the netlink ACPI event | |
555 | interface is available, hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed through | |
556 | sysfs (it is read-only). | |
557 | ||
558 | If the hotkey_report_mode module parameter is set to 1 or 2, it cannot | |
559 | be changed later through sysfs (any writes will return -EPERM to signal | |
560 | that hotkey_report_mode was locked. On 2.6.23 and later, where | |
d0788cfb | 561 | hotkey_report_mode cannot be changed at all, writes will return -EACCES). |
ff80f137 HMH |
562 | |
563 | hotkey_report_mode set to 1 makes the driver export through the procfs | |
564 | ACPI event interface all hot key presses (which are *also* sent to the | |
565 | input layer). This is a legacy compatibility behaviour, and it is also | |
566 | the default mode of operation for the driver. | |
567 | ||
568 | hotkey_report_mode set to 2 makes the driver filter out the hot key | |
569 | presses from the procfs ACPI event interface, so these events will only | |
570 | be sent through the input layer. Userspace that has been updated to use | |
571 | the thinkpad-acpi input layer interface should set hotkey_report_mode to | |
572 | 2. | |
573 | ||
574 | Hot key press events are never sent to the ACPI netlink event interface. | |
575 | Really up-to-date userspace under kernel 2.6.23 and later is to use the | |
576 | netlink interface and the input layer interface, and don't bother at all | |
577 | with hotkey_report_mode. | |

580 | Brightness hotkey notes: |
581 | ||
582 | These are the current sane choices for brightness key mapping in | |
583 | thinkpad-acpi: | |
584 | ||
585 | For IBM and Lenovo models *without* ACPI backlight control (the ones on | |
586 | which thinkpad-acpi will autoload its backlight interface by default, | |
587 | and on which ACPI video does not export a backlight interface): | |
588 | ||
589 | 1. Don't enable or map the brightness hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi, as | |
590 | these older firmware versions unfortunately won't respect the hotkey | |
591 | mask for brightness keys anyway, and always reacts to them. This | |
592 | usually work fine, unless X.org drivers are doing something to block | |
593 | the BIOS. In that case, use (3) below. This is the default mode of | |
594 | operation. | |
595 | ||
596 | 2. Enable the hotkeys, but map them to something else that is NOT | |
597 | KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP/DOWN or any other keycode that would cause | |
598 | userspace to try to change the backlight level, and use that as an | |
599 | on-screen-display hint. | |
600 | ||
601 | 3. IF AND ONLY IF X.org drivers find a way to block the firmware from | |
602 | automatically changing the brightness, enable the hotkeys and map | |
603 | them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN, and feed that to | |
604 | something that calls xbacklight. thinkpad-acpi will not be able to | |
605 | change brightness in that case either, so you should disable its | |
606 | backlight interface. | |
607 | ||
608 | For Lenovo models *with* ACPI backlight control: | |
609 | ||
610 | 1. Load up ACPI video and use that. ACPI video will report ACPI | |
611 | events for brightness change keys. Do not mess with thinkpad-acpi | |
612 | defaults in this case. thinkpad-acpi should not have anything to do | |
613 | with backlight events in a scenario where ACPI video is loaded: | |
614 | brightness hotkeys must be disabled, and the backlight interface is | |
615 | to be kept disabled as well. This is the default mode of operation. | |
616 | ||
617 | 2. Do *NOT* load up ACPI video, enable the hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi, | |
618 | and map them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN. Process | |
619 | these keys on userspace somehow (e.g. by calling xbacklight). | |

631 | Procfs notes: | |
632 | ||
633 | If Bluetooth is installed, the following commands can be used: | |

655 | Video output control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/video |
656 | -------------------------------------------- | |
657 | ||
658 | This feature allows control over the devices used for video output - | |
659 | LCD, CRT or DVI (if available). The following commands are available: | |
660 | ||
661 | echo lcd_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
662 | echo lcd_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
663 | echo crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
664 | echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
665 | echo dvi_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
666 | echo dvi_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
667 | echo auto_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
668 | echo auto_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
669 | echo expand_toggle > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
670 | echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
671 | ||
672 | Each video output device can be enabled or disabled individually. | |
673 | Reading /proc/acpi/ibm/video shows the status of each device. | |
674 | ||
675 | Automatic video switching can be enabled or disabled. When automatic | |
676 | video switching is enabled, certain events (e.g. opening the lid, | |
677 | docking or undocking) cause the video output device to change | |
678 | automatically. While this can be useful, it also causes flickering | |
679 | and, on the X40, video corruption. By disabling automatic switching, | |
680 | the flickering or video corruption can be avoided. | |
681 | ||
682 | The video_switch command cycles through the available video outputs | |
78f81cc4 | 683 | (it simulates the behavior of Fn-F7). |
1da177e4 LT |
684 | |
685 | Video expansion can be toggled through this feature. This controls | |
686 | whether the display is expanded to fill the entire LCD screen when a | |
687 | mode with less than full resolution is used. Note that the current | |
688 | video expansion status cannot be determined through this feature. | |
689 | ||
690 | Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics | |
691 | chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents | |
692 | Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching | |
693 | features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as | |
694 | Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work. | |
695 | ||
78f81cc4 BD |
696 | UPDATE: There's now a patch for the X.org Radeon driver which |
697 | addresses this issue. Some people are reporting success with the patch | |
698 | while others are still having problems. For more information: | |

e306501d HMH |
710 | The ThinkLight status can be read and set through the procfs interface. A |
711 | few models which do not make the status available will show the ThinkLight | |
712 | status as "unknown". The available commands are: | |
1da177e4 LT |
713 | |
714 | echo on > /proc/acpi/ibm/light | |
715 | echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light | |

e306501d HMH |
717 | sysfs notes: |
718 | ||
65807cc2 HMH |
719 | The ThinkLight sysfs interface is documented by the LED class |
720 | documentation, in Documentation/leds-class.txt. The ThinkLight LED name | |
e306501d HMH |
721 | is "tpacpi::thinklight". |
722 | ||
65807cc2 | 723 | Due to limitations in the sysfs LED class, if the status of the thinklight |
e306501d HMH |
724 | cannot be read or if it is unknown, thinkpad-acpi will report it as "off". |
725 | It is impossible to know if the status returned through sysfs is valid. | |
726 | ||
78f81cc4 | 727 | Docking / undocking -- /proc/acpi/ibm/dock |
1da177e4 LT |
728 | ------------------------------------------ |
729 | ||
730 | Docking and undocking (e.g. with the X4 UltraBase) requires some | |
731 | actions to be taken by the operating system to safely make or break | |
732 | the electrical connections with the dock. | |
733 | ||
734 | The docking feature of this driver generates the following ACPI events: | |
735 | ||
736 | ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001 -- eject request | |
737 | ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000002 -- undocked | |
738 | ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003 -- docked | |
739 | ||
740 | NOTE: These events will only be generated if the laptop was docked | |
741 | when originally booted. This is due to the current lack of support for | |
742 | hot plugging of devices in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was | |
743 | booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the | |
78f81cc4 BD |
744 | logs: |
745 | ||
643f12db | 746 | Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present |
78f81cc4 BD |
747 | |
748 | In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and | |
749 | undock commands described below still work. They can be executed | |
750 | manually or triggered by Fn key combinations (see the example acpid | |
751 | configuration files included in the driver tarball package available | |
752 | on the web site). | |
1da177e4 LT |
753 | |
754 | When the eject request button on the dock is pressed, the first event | |
755 | above is generated. The handler for this event should issue the | |
756 | following command: | |
757 | ||
758 | echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock | |
759 | ||
760 | After the LED on the dock goes off, it is safe to eject the laptop. | |
761 | Note: if you pressed this key by mistake, go ahead and eject the | |
762 | laptop, then dock it back in. Otherwise, the dock may not function as | |
763 | expected. | |
764 | ||
765 | When the laptop is docked, the third event above is generated. The | |
766 | handler for this event should issue the following command to fully | |
767 | enable the dock: | |
768 | ||
769 | echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock | |
770 | ||
771 | The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file shows the current status | |
772 | of the dock, as provided by the ACPI framework. | |
773 | ||
774 | The docking support in this driver does not take care of enabling or | |
775 | disabling any other devices you may have attached to the dock. For | |
776 | example, a CD drive plugged into the UltraBase needs to be disabled or | |
777 | enabled separately. See the provided example acpid configuration files | |
778 | for how this can be accomplished. | |
779 | ||
780 | There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a | |
781 | docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently | |
782 | does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that | |
783 | the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series | |
784 | UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the | |
785 | latter don't need any ACPI support, actually). | |
786 | ||
78f81cc4 | 787 | UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay |
1da177e4 LT |
788 | ------------------------------------ |
789 | ||
790 | Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be | |
791 | taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical | |
792 | connections with the device. | |
793 | ||
794 | This feature generates the following ACPI events: | |
795 | ||
796 | ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request | |
797 | ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted | |
798 | ||
799 | NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present | |
800 | when the laptop was originally booted (on the X series, the UltraBay | |
801 | is in the dock, so it may not be present if the laptop was undocked). | |
802 | This is due to the current lack of support for hot plugging of devices | |
803 | in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the | |
78f81cc4 BD |
804 | UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs: |
805 | ||
643f12db | 806 | Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present |
78f81cc4 BD |
807 | |
808 | In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject | |

809 | command described below still works. It can be executed manually or |
810 | triggered by a hot key combination. | |
811 | ||
812 | Sliding the eject lever generates the first event shown above. The | |
813 | handler for this event should take whatever actions are necessary to | |
814 | shut down the device in the UltraBay (e.g. call idectl), then issue | |
815 | the following command: | |
816 | ||
817 | echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay | |
818 | ||
819 | After the LED on the UltraBay goes off, it is safe to pull out the | |
820 | device. | |
821 | ||
822 | When the eject lever is inserted, the second event above is | |
823 | generated. The handler for this event should take whatever actions are | |
824 | necessary to enable the UltraBay device (e.g. call idectl). | |
825 | ||
826 | The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/bay file shows the current status | |
827 | of the UltraBay, as provided by the ACPI framework. | |

829 | EXPERIMENTAL warm eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x (To use |
830 | this feature, you need to supply the experimental=1 parameter when | |
831 | loading the module): | |
832 | ||
833 | These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request | |
834 | a hot eject but rather require the laptop to be put to sleep | |
835 | (suspend-to-ram) before the bay device is ejected or inserted). | |
836 | The sequence of steps to eject the device is as follows: | |
837 | ||
838 | echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay | |
839 | put the ThinkPad to sleep | |
840 | remove the drive | |
841 | resume from sleep | |
842 | cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bay should show that the drive was removed | |
843 | ||
844 | On the A3x, both the UltraBay 2000 and UltraBay Plus devices are | |
845 | supported. Use "eject2" instead of "eject" for the second bay. | |
1da177e4 | 846 | |
78f81cc4 BD |
847 | Note: the UltraBay eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x is |
848 | EXPERIMENTAL and may not work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION! | |

850 | CMOS control |
851 | ------------ | |

854 | sysfs device attribute: cmos_command | |
1da177e4 | 855 | |
d54b7d7f HMH |
856 | This feature is mostly used internally by the ACPI firmware to keep the legacy |
857 | CMOS NVRAM bits in sync with the current machine state, and to record this | |
858 | state so that the ThinkPad will retain such settings across reboots. | |
859 | ||
860 | Some of these commands actually perform actions in some ThinkPad models, but | |
861 | this is expected to disappear more and more in newer models. As an example, in | |
862 | a T43 and in a X40, commands 12 and 13 still control the ThinkLight state for | |
863 | real, but commands 0 to 2 don't control the mixer anymore (they have been | |
864 | phased out) and just update the NVRAM. | |
1da177e4 | 865 | |
b616004c HMH |
866 | The range of valid cmos command numbers is 0 to 21, but not all have an |
867 | effect and the behavior varies from model to model. Here is the behavior | |
868 | on the X40 (tpb is the ThinkPad Buttons utility): | |
1da177e4 | 869 | |

870 | 0 - Related to "Volume down" key press |
871 | 1 - Related to "Volume up" key press | |
872 | 2 - Related to "Mute on" key press | |
873 | 3 - Related to "Access IBM" key press | |
d0788cfb | 874 | 4 - Related to "LCD brightness up" key press |

875 | 5 - Related to "LCD brightness down" key press |
876 | 11 - Related to "toggle screen expansion" key press/function | |
877 | 12 - Related to "ThinkLight on" | |
878 | 13 - Related to "ThinkLight off" | |

1da177e4 | 880 | |
b616004c | 881 | The cmos command interface is prone to firmware split-brain problems, as |
d54b7d7f HMH |
882 | in newer ThinkPads it is just a compatibility layer. Do not use it, it is |
883 | exported just as a debug tool. | |

af116101 HMH |
890 | |
891 | Some of the LED indicators can be controlled through this feature. On | |
892 | some older ThinkPad models, it is possible to query the status of the | |
893 | LED indicators as well. Newer ThinkPads cannot query the real status | |
894 | of the LED indicators. | |
895 | ||
896 | procfs notes: | |
897 | ||
898 | The available commands are: | |
1da177e4 | 899 | |
65807cc2 HMH |
900 | echo '<LED number> on' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led |
901 | echo '<LED number> off' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led | |
902 | echo '<LED number> blink' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led | |
1da177e4 | 903 | |
65807cc2 | 904 | The <LED number> range is 0 to 7. The set of LEDs that can be |
af116101 HMH |
905 | controlled varies from model to model. Here is the common ThinkPad |
906 | mapping: | |
1da177e4 LT |
907 | |
908 | 0 - power | |
909 | 1 - battery (orange) | |
910 | 2 - battery (green) | |

913 | 5 - UltraBase battery slot |
914 | 6 - (unknown) | |
1da177e4 LT |
915 | 7 - standby |
916 | ||
917 | All of the above can be turned on and off and can be made to blink. | |
918 | ||
af116101 HMH |
919 | sysfs notes: |
920 | ||
65807cc2 | 921 | The ThinkPad LED sysfs interface is described in detail by the LED class |
af116101 HMH |
922 | documentation, in Documentation/leds-class.txt. |
923 | ||
924 | The leds are named (in LED ID order, from 0 to 7): | |
925 | "tpacpi::power", "tpacpi:orange:batt", "tpacpi:green:batt", | |
926 | "tpacpi::dock_active", "tpacpi::bay_active", "tpacpi::dock_batt", | |
927 | "tpacpi::unknown_led", "tpacpi::standby". | |
928 | ||
65807cc2 | 929 | Due to limitations in the sysfs LED class, if the status of the LED |
af116101 HMH |
930 | indicators cannot be read due to an error, thinkpad-acpi will report it as |
931 | a brightness of zero (same as LED off). | |
932 | ||
933 | If the thinkpad firmware doesn't support reading the current status, | |
934 | trying to read the current LED brightness will just return whatever | |
935 | brightness was last written to that attribute. | |
936 | ||
937 | These LEDs can blink using hardware acceleration. To request that a | |
938 | ThinkPad indicator LED should blink in hardware accelerated mode, use the | |
939 | "timer" trigger, and leave the delay_on and delay_off parameters set to | |
940 | zero (to request hardware acceleration autodetection). | |

942 | ACPI sounds -- /proc/acpi/ibm/beep |
943 | ---------------------------------- | |
1da177e4 LT |
944 | |
945 | The BEEP method is used internally by the ACPI firmware to provide | |
78f81cc4 | 946 | audible alerts in various situations. This feature allows the same |
1da177e4 LT |
947 | sounds to be triggered manually. |
948 | ||
949 | The commands are non-negative integer numbers: | |
950 | ||
78f81cc4 | 951 | echo <number> >/proc/acpi/ibm/beep |
1da177e4 | 952 | |
78f81cc4 BD |
953 | The valid <number> range is 0 to 17. Not all numbers trigger sounds |
954 | and the sounds vary from model to model. Here is the behavior on the | |
955 | X40: | |
1da177e4 | 956 | |
78f81cc4 BD |
957 | 0 - stop a sound in progress (but use 17 to stop 16) |
958 | 2 - two beeps, pause, third beep ("low battery") | |
1da177e4 | 959 | 3 - single beep |
78f81cc4 | 960 | 4 - high, followed by low-pitched beep ("unable") |
1da177e4 | 961 | 5 - single beep |
78f81cc4 | 962 | 6 - very high, followed by high-pitched beep ("AC/DC") |
1da177e4 LT |
963 | 7 - high-pitched beep |
964 | 9 - three short beeps | |
965 | 10 - very long beep | |
966 | 12 - low-pitched beep | |
78f81cc4 BD |
967 | 15 - three high-pitched beeps repeating constantly, stop with 0 |
968 | 16 - one medium-pitched beep repeating constantly, stop with 17 | |
969 | 17 - stop 16 | |

3d6f99ca HMH |
977 | Most ThinkPads include six or more separate temperature sensors but only |
978 | expose the CPU temperature through the standard ACPI methods. This | |
979 | feature shows readings from up to eight different sensors on older | |
980 | ThinkPads, and up to sixteen different sensors on newer ThinkPads. | |
60eb0b35 HMH |
981 | |
982 | For example, on the X40, a typical output may be: | |
78f81cc4 BD |
983 | temperatures: 42 42 45 41 36 -128 33 -128 |
984 | ||
3d6f99ca | 985 | On the T43/p, a typical output may be: |
60eb0b35 HMH |
986 | temperatures: 48 48 36 52 38 -128 31 -128 48 52 48 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 |
987 | ||
988 | The mapping of thermal sensors to physical locations varies depending on | |
989 | system-board model (and thus, on ThinkPad model). | |
990 | ||
991 | http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors is a public wiki page that | |
992 | tries to track down these locations for various models. | |
993 | ||
994 | Most (newer?) models seem to follow this pattern: | |

1035 | Sysfs notes: | |
1036 | Sensors that are not available return the ENXIO error. This | |
1037 | status may change at runtime, as there are hotplug thermal | |
1038 | sensors, like those inside the batteries and docks. | |

1050 | WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the | |
1051 | experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. | |
1052 | ||
1053 | This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller | |

1076 | This feature can be used to determine the register holding the fan | |
1077 | speed on some models. To do that, do the following: | |
1078 | ||
1079 | - make sure the battery is fully charged | |
1080 | - make sure the fan is running | |
1081 | - run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump' several times, once per second or so | |
1082 | ||
1083 | The first step makes sure various charging-related values don't | |
1084 | vary. The second ensures that the fan-related values do vary, since | |
1085 | the fan speed fluctuates a bit. The third will (hopefully) mark the | |
1086 | fan register with a star: | |

1107 | Another set of values that varies often is the temperature | |

1110 | ||
1111 | You can use a similar method to figure out the meaning of other | |
1112 | embedded controller registers - e.g. make sure nothing else changes | |
1113 | except the charging or discharging battery to determine which | |
1114 | registers contain the current battery capacity, etc. If you experiment | |

1130 | used, and cannot be controlled. | |
1131 | ||
1132 | On IBM (and some of the earlier Lenovo) ThinkPads, the backlight control | |
1133 | has eight brightness levels, ranging from 0 to 7. Some of the levels | |
1134 | may not be distinct. Later Lenovo models that implement the ACPI | |
1135 | display backlight brightness control methods have 16 levels, ranging | |
1136 | from 0 to 15. | |
1137 | ||
1138 | There are two interfaces to the firmware for direct brightness control, | |
1139 | EC and CMOS. To select which one should be used, use the | |
1140 | brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects EC mode, | |
1141 | brightness_mode=2 selects CMOS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects both EC | |
d0788cfb | 1142 | and CMOS. The driver tries to auto-detect which interface to use. |
a3f104c0 HMH |
1143 | |
1144 | When display backlight brightness controls are available through the | |
1145 | standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct | |
e11e211a HMH |
1146 | ThinkPad-specific interface. The driver will disable its native |
1147 | backlight brightness control interface if it detects that the standard | |
1148 | ACPI interface is available in the ThinkPad. | |
24d3b774 | 1149 | |
87cc537a HMH |
1150 | The brightness_enable module parameter can be used to control whether |
1151 | the LCD brightness control feature will be enabled when available. | |
e11e211a HMH |
1152 | brightness_enable=0 forces it to be disabled. brightness_enable=1 |
1153 | forces it to be enabled when available, even if the standard ACPI | |
1154 | interface is also available. | |

1164 | Sysfs notes: |
1165 | ||
a3f104c0 HMH |
1166 | The interface is implemented through the backlight sysfs class, which is |
1167 | poorly documented at this time. | |
7d5a015e | 1168 | |
a3f104c0 HMH |
1169 | Locate the thinkpad_screen device under /sys/class/backlight, and inside |
1170 | it there will be the following attributes: | |
7d5a015e HMH |
1171 | |
1172 | max_brightness: | |
1173 | Reads the maximum brightness the hardware can be set to. | |
1174 | The minimum is always zero. | |
1175 | ||
1176 | actual_brightness: | |
1177 | Reads what brightness the screen is set to at this instant. | |
1178 | ||
1179 | brightness: | |
a3f104c0 HMH |
1180 | Writes request the driver to change brightness to the |
1181 | given value. Reads will tell you what brightness the | |
1182 | driver is trying to set the display to when "power" is set | |
1183 | to zero and the display has not been dimmed by a kernel | |
1184 | power management event. | |
7d5a015e HMH |
1185 | |
1186 | power: | |
a3f104c0 HMH |
1187 | power management mode, where 0 is "display on", and 1 to 3 |
1188 | will dim the display backlight to brightness level 0 | |
1189 | because thinkpad-acpi cannot really turn the backlight | |
1190 | off. Kernel power management events can temporarily | |
1191 | increase the current power management level, i.e. they can | |
1192 | dim the display. | |

1195 | WARNING: |
1196 | ||
1197 | Whatever you do, do NOT ever call thinkpad-acpi backlight-level change | |
1198 | interface and the ACPI-based backlight level change interface | |
1199 | (available on newer BIOSes, and driven by the Linux ACPI video driver) | |
1200 | at the same time. The two will interact in bad ways, do funny things, | |
1201 | and maybe reduce the life of the backlight lamps by needlessly kicking | |
1202 | its level up and down at every change. | |
1203 | ||

1204 | Volume control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/volume |
1205 | --------------------------------------- | |
78f81cc4 BD |
1206 | |
1207 | This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models which don't have | |
1208 | a hardware volume knob. The available commands are: | |
1209 | ||
1210 | echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | |
1211 | echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | |
1212 | echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | |
1213 | echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | |
1214 | ||
1215 | The <level> number range is 0 to 15 although not all of them may be | |
1216 | distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the | |
1217 | up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume). | |
1218 | The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file. | |

1228 | NOTE NOTE NOTE: fan control operations are disabled by default for |
1229 | safety reasons. To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1" | |
1230 | must be given to thinkpad-acpi. | |
78f81cc4 | 1231 | |
a12095c2 HMH |
1232 | This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and |
1233 | other fan data that might be available. The speed is read directly | |
1234 | from the hardware registers of the embedded controller. This is known | |
ecf2a80a | 1235 | to work on later R, T, X and Z series ThinkPads but may show a bogus |
a12095c2 HMH |
1236 | value on other models. |
1237 | ||
fe98a52c | 1238 | Fan levels: |
a12095c2 | 1239 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1240 | Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels" at the firmware interface. Level 0 |
1241 | stops the fan. The higher the level, the higher the fan speed, although | |
1242 | adjacent levels often map to the same fan speed. 7 is the highest | |
1243 | level, where the fan reaches the maximum recommended speed. | |
78f81cc4 | 1244 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1245 | Level "auto" means the EC changes the fan level according to some |
1246 | internal algorithm, usually based on readings from the thermal sensors. | |
78f81cc4 | 1247 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1248 | There is also a "full-speed" level, also known as "disengaged" level. |
1249 | In this level, the EC disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control, | |
1250 | and drives the fan as fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware | |
1251 | limits, so use this level with caution. | |
78f81cc4 | 1252 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1253 | The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another, and |
1254 | it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan | |
1255 | commands. The full-speed level may take up to two minutes to ramp up to | |
1256 | maximum speed, and in some ThinkPads, the tachometer readings go stale | |
1257 | while the EC is transitioning to the full-speed level. | |
a12095c2 | 1258 | |
78f81cc4 | 1259 | WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are |
a12095c2 HMH |
1260 | monitoring all of the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to |
1261 | enable it if necessary to avoid overheating. | |
1262 | ||
1263 | An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the | |
1264 | ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow. This is | |
01dd2fbf | 1265 | normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the various thermal readings |
a12095c2 HMH |
1266 | rise too much. |
1267 | ||
1268 | On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures. | |
1269 | Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature | |
1270 | climbs to 56 degrees or the HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees. The | |
1271 | fan is turned off when the CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the | |
1272 | HDD temperature drops to 41 degrees. These thresholds cannot | |
1273 | currently be controlled. | |
1274 | ||
fe98a52c HMH |
1275 | The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when |
1276 | certain conditions are met. It will override any fan programming done | |
1277 | through thinkpad-acpi. | |
1278 | ||
1279 | The thinkpad-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan | |
1280 | level to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the procfs | |
1281 | fan commands: "enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog", or if there | |
1282 | are no writes to pwm1_enable (or to pwm1 *if and only if* pwm1_enable is | |
1283 | set to 1, manual mode) within a configurable amount of time of up to | |
1284 | 120 seconds. This functionality is called fan safety watchdog. | |
1285 | ||
1286 | Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan. It will be | |
1287 | rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of the | |
1288 | above mentioned fan commands is received. The fan watchdog is, | |
1289 | therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made through | |
1290 | means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" procfs fan | |
1291 | commands, or the hwmon fan control sysfs interface. | |
1292 | ||
1293 | Procfs notes: | |
1294 | ||
1295 | The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands: | |
1296 | ||
1297 | echo enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan | |
1298 | echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan | |
1299 | ||
1300 | Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it. Enabling a fan | |
1301 | will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled. | |
1302 | ||
a12095c2 | 1303 | The fan level can be controlled with the command: |
78f81cc4 | 1304 | |
fe98a52c | 1305 | echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan |
a12095c2 | 1306 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1307 | Where <level> is an integer from 0 to 7, or one of the words "auto" or |
1308 | "full-speed" (without the quotes). Not all ThinkPads support the "auto" | |
1309 | and "full-speed" levels. The driver accepts "disengaged" as an alias for | |
1310 | "full-speed", and reports it as "disengaged" for backwards | |
1311 | compatibility. | |
78f81cc4 BD |
1312 | |
1313 | On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be | |
fe98a52c | 1314 | controlled to a certain degree. Once the fan is running, it can be |
78f81cc4 BD |
1315 | forced to run faster or slower with the following command: |
1316 | ||
fe98a52c | 1317 | echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan |
78f81cc4 | 1318 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1319 | The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from about |
1320 | 3700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have any | |
1321 | effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that range. The | |
1322 | fan cannot be stopped or started with this command. This functionality | |
1323 | is incomplete, and not available through the sysfs interface. | |
78f81cc4 | 1324 | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1325 | To program the safety watchdog, use the "watchdog" command. |
1326 | ||
1327 | echo 'watchdog <interval in seconds>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan | |
1328 | ||
1329 | If you want to disable the watchdog, use 0 as the interval. | |
1330 | ||
1331 | Sysfs notes: | |
1332 | ||
1333 | The sysfs interface follows the hwmon subsystem guidelines for the most | |
1334 | part, and the exception is the fan safety watchdog. | |
1335 | ||
b39fe582 HMH |
1336 | Writes to any of the sysfs attributes may return the EINVAL error if |
1337 | that operation is not supported in a given ThinkPad or if the parameter | |
1338 | is out-of-bounds, and EPERM if it is forbidden. They may also return | |
1339 | EINTR (interrupted system call), and EIO (I/O error while trying to talk | |
1340 | to the firmware). | |
1341 | ||
1342 | Features not yet implemented by the driver return ENOSYS. | |
1343 | ||
fe98a52c HMH |
1344 | hwmon device attribute pwm1_enable: |
1345 | 0: PWM offline (fan is set to full-speed mode) | |

1347 | 2: Hardware PWM control (EC "auto" mode) | |
1348 | 3: reserved (Software PWM control, not implemented yet) | |
1349 | ||
b39fe582 HMH |
1350 | Modes 0 and 2 are not supported by all ThinkPads, and the |
1351 | driver is not always able to detect this. If it does know a | |
1352 | mode is unsupported, it will return -EINVAL. | |
fe98a52c HMH |
1353 | |
1354 | hwmon device attribute pwm1: | |
1355 | Fan level, scaled from the firmware values of 0-7 to the hwmon | |
1356 | scale of 0-255. 0 means fan stopped, 255 means highest normal | |
1357 | speed (level 7). | |
1358 | ||
1359 | This attribute only commands the fan if pmw1_enable is set to 1 | |
1360 | (manual PWM control). | |
1361 | ||
1362 | hwmon device attribute fan1_input: | |
1363 | Fan tachometer reading, in RPM. May go stale on certain | |
1364 | ThinkPads while the EC transitions the PWM to offline mode, | |
1365 | which can take up to two minutes. May return rubbish on older | |
1366 | ThinkPads. | |
1367 | ||
7fd40029 | 1368 | hwmon driver attribute fan_watchdog: |
fe98a52c HMH |
1369 | Fan safety watchdog timer interval, in seconds. Minimum is |
1370 | 1 second, maximum is 120 seconds. 0 disables the watchdog. | |
1371 | ||
1372 | To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1. | |
1373 | ||
1374 | To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2. If that fails | |
b39fe582 HMH |
1375 | with EINVAL, try to set pwm1_enable to 1 and pwm1 to at least 128 (255 |
1376 | would be the safest choice, though). | |

1417 | ----------------- | |
1418 | ||
1419 | This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because it has not been extensively | |
1420 | tested and validated in various ThinkPad models yet. The feature may not | |
1421 | work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply | |
1422 | the experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. | |
1423 | ||
1424 | sysfs rfkill class: switch "tpacpi_uwb_sw" | |

1434 | Multiple Commands, Module Parameters |
1435 | ------------------------------------ | |
1da177e4 LT |
1436 | |
1437 | Multiple commands can be written to the proc files in one shot by | |
1438 | separating them with commas, for example: | |
1439 | ||
1440 | echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey | |
1441 | echo lcd_disable,crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | |
1442 | ||
643f12db HMH |
1443 | Commands can also be specified when loading the thinkpad-acpi module, |
1444 | for example: | |
1da177e4 | 1445 | |

1448 | Enabling debugging output |
1449 | ------------------------- | |
1450 | ||
0f035b8e | 1451 | The module takes a debug parameter which can be used to selectively |
132ce091 HMH |
1452 | enable various classes of debugging output, for example: |
1453 | ||
5f24927f | 1454 | modprobe thinkpad_acpi debug=0xffff |
132ce091 HMH |
1455 | |
1456 | will enable all debugging output classes. It takes a bitmask, so | |
1457 | to enable more than one output class, just add their values. | |
1458 | ||
fe08bc4b HMH |
1459 | Debug bitmask Description |
1460 | 0x0001 Initialization and probing | |
1461 | 0x0002 Removal | |
1462 | ||
132ce091 HMH |
1463 | There is also a kernel build option to enable more debugging |
1464 | information, which may be necessary to debug driver problems. | |
0dcef77c | 1465 | |
176750d6 HMH |
1466 | The level of debugging information output by the driver can be changed |
1467 | at runtime through sysfs, using the driver attribute debug_level. The | |
1468 | attribute takes the same bitmask as the debug module parameter above. | |

94b08713 HMH |
1482 | 0x000200: Hot key support for 32 hot keys, and radio slider switch |
1483 | support. | |
741553c2 HMH |
1484 | 0x010000: Hot keys are now handled by default over the input |
1485 | layer, the radio switch generates input event EV_RADIO, | |
1486 | and the driver enables hot key handling by default in | |
1487 | the firmware. | |
7fd40029 HMH |
1488 | |
1489 | 0x020000: ABI fix: added a separate hwmon platform device and | |
1490 | driver, which must be located by name (thinkpad) | |
1491 | and the hwmon class for libsensors4 (lm-sensors 3) | |
1492 | compatibility. Moved all hwmon attributes to this | |
1493 | new platform device. | |

1494 | |
1495 | 0x020100: Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling | |
1496 | support. If you must, use it to know you should not | |
0211a9c8 | 1497 | start a userspace NVRAM poller (allows to detect when |
01e88f25 HMH |
1498 | NVRAM is compiled out by the user because it is |
1499 | unneeded/undesired in the first place). | |
1500 | 0x020101: Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling | |
d0788cfb | 1501 | and proper hotkey_mask semantics (version 8 of the |
01e88f25 HMH |
1502 | NVRAM polling patch). Some development snapshots of |
