NAME

       pommed - Apple laptops hotkeys event handler

SYNOPSIS

       pommed [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the pommed daemon.

       pommed is a daemon handling the hotkeys found on the Apple laptops, like the MacBook Pro, MacBook and PowerBook laptops. These hotkeys con-
       trol, through pommed, the LCD backlight level, the audio volume, the keyboard backlight level (only on  the  MacBook  Pro  and  the  latest
       PowerBook)  and	the CD/DVD drive ejection. Additionally, pommed monitors the ambient light sensors found on the MacBook Pro and the latest
       PowerBook to automatically light up the keyboard backlight when the ambient light level gets too low.

       pommed can optionally support the Apple Remote Control, too (this option is disabled by default and only available for the MacBook Pro  and
       MacBook).

OPTIONS

       pommed accepts the following command-line options.

       -v     Print version information.

       -f     Run in the foreground, printing log messages to stdout.

       -d     Run in the foreground, printing log messages to stdout and debug messages to stderr.

FILES

       /etc/pommed.conf

ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)					   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					  ACPI_ASUS_WMI(4)

NAME

     acpi_asus_wmi -- Asus Laptop WMI Extras

SYNOPSIS

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

	   device acpi_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"

DESCRIPTION

     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 com-
     ponents, 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.

SYSCTL VARIABLES

     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.

SEE ALSO

     acpi(4), acpi_asus(4), acpi_video(4), sysctl.conf(5), devd(8), sysctl(8)

HISTORY

     The acpi_asus_wmi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 10.0.
