265 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
266 bool "Verbose debug mode"
267 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
270 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
271 increase in driver size.
273 If you are not sure, say N here.
275 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
276 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
277 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
278 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
281 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
282 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
283 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
284 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
287 If you are not sure, say N here.
289 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
290 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
291 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
294 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
295 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
296 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
298 If you are not sure, say Y here.
300 config THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO
301 bool "Video output control support"
302 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
305 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
306 the various video output ports.
308 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
309 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
310 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
311 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
312 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
313 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
315 If you are not sure, say Y here.
317 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
318 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
319 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
322 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
323 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
324 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
325 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
327 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
328 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
330 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
331 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
332 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
334 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
335 it is strictly necessary to do so.

368 This driver supports the Fn-Fx keys on Eee PC laptops.
369 It also adds the ability to switch camera/wlan on/off.
371 If you have an Eee PC laptop, say Y or M here.
373 config ENCLOSURE_SERVICES
374 tristate "Enclosure Services"
377 Provides support for intelligent enclosures (bays which
378 contain storage devices). You also need either a host
379 driver (SCSI/ATA) which supports enclosures
380 or a SCSI enclosure device (SES) to use these services.
383 tristate "Support communication between SGI SSIs"
384 depends on IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
385 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
386 select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
388 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
389 Images which act independently of each other and have
390 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
391 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
392 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.
