As Pavel Machek has pointed out, the Kconfig entry for WMI is pretty non-descriptive. Rewrite it so that it explains what ACPI-WMI is, and why anyone would want to enable it. Many thanks to Ray Lee for ideas on this.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
|
|
Linux requires an ACPI compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
|
|
and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
|
|
management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
|
|
kernel by about 70K.
|
|
|
|
Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
|
|
legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
|
|
the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
|
|
MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
|
|
Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
|
|
are configured, whichever is loaded first shall be used.
|
|
|
|
The ACPI SourceForge project contains the latest source code,
|
|
documentation, tools, mailing list subscription, and other
|
|
information. This project is available at:
|
|
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/acpi>
|
|
|
|
Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
|
|
Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information see:
|

ACPI is an open industry specification co-developed by Compaq,
|
|
Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba. The specification is

This driver adds support for the ACPI-WMI (Windows Management

Instrumentation) mapper device (PNP0C14) found on some systems.
|
|
|
|
ACPI-WMI is a proprietary extension to ACPI to expose parts of the
|
|
ACPI firmware to userspace - this is done through various vendor
|
|
defined methods and data blocks in a PNP0C14 device, which are then
|
|
made available for userspace to call.
|
|
|
|
The implementation of this in Linux currently only exposes this to
|
|
other kernel space drivers.
|
|
|
|
This driver is a required dependency to build the firmware specific
|
|
drivers needed on many machines, including Acer and HP laptops.
|

It is safe to enable this driver even if your DSDT doesn't define

any ACPI-WMI devices.

This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible
|

ASUS laptops. As some of Medion laptops are made by ASUS, it may also
|
|
support some Medion laptops (such as 9675 for example). It makes all
|
|
the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through
|
|
/proc/acpi/events, and (on some models) adds support for changing the
|
|
display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off,
|
|
and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended
|
|
for reporting mail and wireless status.
|
|
|
|
Note: display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL,
|
|
toying with these values may even lock your machine.
|
|
|
|
All settings are changed via /proc/acpi/asus directory entries. Owner
|
|
and group for these entries can be set with asus_uid and asus_gid
|
|
parameters.

|
|
|
More information and a userspace daemon for handling the extra buttons

If you have an ACPI-compatible ASUS laptop, say Y or M here. This

driver is still under development, so if your laptop is unsupported or
|
|
something works not quite as expected, please use the mailing list
|
|
available on the above page (acpi4asus-user@lists.sourceforge.net).

This driver adds support for access to certain system settings

on "legacy free" Toshiba laptops. These laptops can be recognized by

their lack of a BIOS setup menu and APM support.

On these machines, all system configuration is handled through the
|
|
ACPI. This driver is required for access to controls not covered
|
|
by the general ACPI drivers, such as LCD brightness, video output,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
This driver differs from the non-ACPI Toshiba laptop driver (located
|
|
under "Processor type and features") in several aspects.
|
|
Configuration is accessed by reading and writing text files in the
|
|
/proc tree instead of by program interface to /dev. Furthermore, no
|
|
power management functions are exposed, as those are handled by the
|
|
general ACPI drivers.
