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
