17 tristate "Atmel AT32/AT91 PWM support"
18 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
20 This option enables device driver support for the PWM channels
21 on certain Atmel prcoessors. Pulse Width Modulation is used for
22 purposes including software controlled power-efficent backlights
23 on LCD displays, motor control, and waveform generation.
26 bool "Atmel AT32/AT91 Timer/Counter Library"
27 depends on (AVR32 || ARCH_AT91)
29 Select this if you want a library to allocate the Timer/Counter
30 blocks found on many Atmel processors. This facilitates using
31 these blocks by different drivers despite processor differences.
33 config ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC
34 bool "TC Block Clocksource"
35 depends on ATMEL_TCLIB && GENERIC_TIME
38 Select this to get a high precision clocksource based on a
39 TC block with a 5+ MHz base clock rate. Two timer channels
40 are combined to make a single 32-bit timer.
42 When GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS is defined, the third timer channel
43 may be used as a clock event device supporting oneshot mode
44 (delays of up to two seconds) based on the 32 KiHz clock.
46 config ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC_BLOCK
48 depends on ATMEL_TCB_CLKSRC
49 prompt "TC Block" if ARCH_AT91RM9200 || ARCH_AT91SAM9260 || CPU_AT32AP700X
53 Some chips provide more than one TC block, so you have the
54 choice of which one to use for the clock framework. The other
55 TC can be used for other purposes, such as PWM generation and
59 tristate "Device driver for IBM RSA service processor"
60 depends on X86 && PCI && INPUT && EXPERIMENTAL
62 This option enables device driver support for in-band access to the
63 IBM RSA (Condor) service processor in eServer xSeries systems.
64 The ibmasm device driver allows user space application to access
65 ASM (Advanced Systems Management) functions on the service
66 processor. The driver is meant to be used in conjunction with

97 tristate "SGI IOC4 Base IO support"
100 This option enables basic support for the IOC4 chip on certain
101 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
102 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
103 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.
105 If you have an SGI Altix with an IOC4-based card say Y.
109 tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
110 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI
112 If you want support for Texas Instruments(R) Flash Media adapters

167 This is the new Linux driver for Asus laptops. It may also support some
168 MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops. It makes all the extra buttons generate
169 standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. It also adds
170 support for video output switching, LCD backlight control, Bluetooth and
171 Wlan control, and most importantly, allows you to blink those fancy LEDs.

193 If you have a Fujitsu laptop, say Y or M here.
195 config FUJITSU_LAPTOP_DEBUG
196 bool "Verbose debug mode for Fujitsu Laptop Extras"
197 depends on FUJITSU_LAPTOP
200 Enables extra debug output from the fujitsu extras driver, at the
201 expense of a slight increase in driver size.
203 If you are not sure, say N here.
206 tristate "HP Compaq TC1100 Tablet WMI Extras (EXPERIMENTAL)"
207 depends on X86 && !X86_64

282 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
285 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
286 depends on X86 && ACPI
287 select BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT
288 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
297 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
298 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
299 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
300 For more information about this driver see
301 <file:Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and
302 <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
304 This driver was formerly known as ibm-acpi.
306 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
308 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
309 bool "Verbose debug mode"
310 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
313 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
314 increase in driver size.
316 If you are not sure, say N here.
318 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
319 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
320 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
321 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
324 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
325 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
326 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
327 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
330 If you are not sure, say N here.
332 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
333 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
334 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
337 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
338 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
339 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
341 If you are not sure, say Y here.
343 config THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO
344 bool "Video output control support"
345 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
348 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
349 the various video output ports.
351 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
352 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
353 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
354 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
355 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
356 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
358 If you are not sure, say Y here.
360 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
361 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
362 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
365 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
366 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
367 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
368 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
370 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
371 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
373 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
374 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
375 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
377 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
378 it is strictly necessary to do so.
381 tristate "Device driver for Atmel SSC peripheral"
382 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
384 This option enables device driver support for Atmel Syncronized
385 Serial Communication peripheral (SSC).
387 The SSC peripheral supports a wide variety of serial frame based
388 communications, i.e. I2S, SPI, etc.
393 tristate "Thermal Management driver for Intel menlow platform"
394 depends on ACPI_THERMAL
398 ACPI thermal management enhancement driver on
399 Intel Menlow platform.
404 tristate "Eee PC Hotkey Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
407 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
409 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
411 This driver supports the Fn-Fx keys on Eee PC laptops.
412 It also adds the ability to switch camera/wlan on/off.
414 If you have an Eee PC laptop, say Y or M here.
416 config ENCLOSURE_SERVICES
417 tristate "Enclosure Services"
420 Provides support for intelligent enclosures (bays which
421 contain storage devices). You also need either a host
422 driver (SCSI/ATA) which supports enclosures
423 or a SCSI enclosure device (SES) to use these services.
426 tristate "Support communication between SGI SSIs"
427 depends on IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
428 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
429 select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
431 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
432 Images which act independently of each other and have
433 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
434 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
435 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.
438 tristate "Channel interface driver for HP iLO/iLO2 processor"
441 The channel interface driver allows applications to communicate
442 with iLO/iLO2 management processors present on HP ProLiant
443 servers. Upon loading, the driver creates /dev/hpilo/dXccbN files,
444 which can be used to gather data from the management processor,
445 via read and write system calls.
447 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
448 module will be called hpilo.
