11 | This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It | ||
12 | supports various features of these laptops which are accessible | ||
13 | through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully | ||
14 | supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers. | ||
15 | |||
16 | This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release | ||
17 | 0.13-20070314. It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was | ||
18 | moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel | ||
19 | 2.6.22, and release 0.14. | ||
20 | |||
21 | |||
22 | Status | ||
23 | ------ | ||
24 | |||
25 | The features currently supported are the following (see below for | ||
26 | detailed description): | ||
27 | |||
28 | - Fn key combinations | ||
29 | - Bluetooth enable and disable | ||
30 | - video output switching, expansion control | ||
31 | - ThinkLight on and off | ||
32 | - limited docking and undocking | ||
33 | - UltraBay eject | ||
34 | - CMOS control | ||
35 | - LED control | ||
36 | - ACPI sounds | ||
37 | - temperature sensors | ||
38 | - Experimental: embedded controller register dump | ||
39 | - LCD brightness control | ||
40 | - Volume control | ||
41 | - Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable | ||
42 | - Experimental: WAN enable and disable | ||
43 | |||
44 | A compatibility table by model and feature is maintained on the web | ||
45 | site, http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/. I appreciate any success or failure | ||
46 | reports, especially if they add to or correct the compatibility table. | ||
47 | Please include the following information in your report: | ||
48 | |||
49 | - ThinkPad model name | ||
50 | - a copy of your DSDT, from /proc/acpi/dsdt | ||
51 | - a copy of the output of dmidecode, with serial numbers | ||
52 | and UUIDs masked off | ||
53 | - which driver features work and which don't | ||
54 | - the observed behavior of non-working features | ||
55 | |||
56 | Any other comments or patches are also more than welcome. | ||
57 | |||
58 | |||
59 | Installation | ||
60 | ------------ | ||
61 | |||
62 | If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel | ||
63 | sources, simply enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI option, and optionally | ||
64 | enable the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY option if you want the | ||
65 | thinkpad-specific bay functionality. | ||
66 | |||
67 | Features | ||
68 | -------- | ||
69 | |||
70 | The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be | ||
71 | used to access the features it provides. One is a legacy procfs-based | ||
72 | interface, which will be removed at some time in the distant future. | ||
73 | The other is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet. | ||
74 | |||
75 | The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory. There is a | ||
76 | file under that directory for each feature it supports. The procfs | ||
77 | interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it | ||
78 | will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead | ||
79 | all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface. | ||
80 | |||
81 | The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems | ||
82 | and classes as much as possible. Since some of these subsystems are not | ||
83 | yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change, | ||
84 | and any and all userspace programs must deal with it. | ||
85 | |||
86 | |||
87 | Notes about the sysfs interface: | ||
88 | |||
89 | Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking | ||
90 | to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the | ||
91 | thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces. | ||
92 | |||
93 | Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the | ||
94 | thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for | ||
95 | maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in | ||
96 | non-compatible ways. As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and | ||
97 | in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare. | ||
98 | |||
99 | Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must | ||
100 | follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs | ||
101 | interface makes extensive use of errors). File descriptors and open / | ||
102 | close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented. | ||
103 | |||
104 | The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver | ||
105 | as a driver attribute (see below). | ||
106 | |||
107 | Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space, | ||
108 | for 2.6.20 this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad-acpi/. | ||
109 | |||
110 | Sysfs device attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space, | ||
111 | for 2.6.20 this is /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad-acpi/. | ||
112 | |||
113 | Driver version | ||
114 | -------------- | ||
115 | |||
116 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/driver | ||
117 | sysfs driver attribute: version | ||
118 | |||
119 | The driver name and version. No commands can be written to this file. | ||
120 | |||
121 | Sysfs interface version | ||
122 | ----------------------- | ||
123 | |||
124 | sysfs driver attribute: interface_version | ||
125 | |||
126 | Version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface, as an unsigned long | ||
127 | (output in hex format: 0xAAAABBCC), where: | ||
128 | AAAA - major revision | ||
129 | BB - minor revision | ||
130 | CC - bugfix revision | ||
131 | |||
132 | The sysfs interface version changelog for the driver can be found at the | ||
133 | end of this document. Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel | ||
134 | subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this | ||
135 | attribute. | ||
136 | |||
137 | Hot keys | ||
138 | -------- | ||
139 | |||
140 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey | ||
141 | sysfs device attribute: hotkey/* | ||
142 | |||
143 | Without this driver, only the Fn-F4 key (sleep button) generates an | ||
144 | ACPI event. With the driver loaded, the hotkey feature enabled and the | ||
145 | mask set (see below), the various hot keys generate ACPI events in the | ||
146 | following format: | ||
147 | |||
148 | ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx | ||
149 | |||
150 | The last four digits vary depending on the key combination pressed. | ||
151 | All labeled Fn-Fx key combinations generate distinct events. In | ||
152 | addition, the lid microswitch and some docking station buttons may | ||
153 | also generate such events. | ||
154 | |||
155 | The bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate ACPI | ||
156 | events. Not all bits in the mask can be modified. Not all bits that | ||
157 | can be modified do anything. Not all hot keys can be individually | ||
158 | controlled by the mask. Most recent ThinkPad models honor the | ||
159 | following bits (assuming the hot keys feature has been enabled): | ||
160 | |||
161 | key bit behavior when set behavior when unset | ||
162 | |||
163 | Fn-F3 always generates ACPI event | ||
164 | Fn-F4 always generates ACPI event | ||
165 | Fn-F5 0010 generate ACPI event enable/disable Bluetooth | ||
166 | Fn-F7 0040 generate ACPI event switch LCD and external display | ||
167 | Fn-F8 0080 generate ACPI event expand screen or none | ||
168 | Fn-F9 0100 generate ACPI event none | ||
169 | Fn-F12 always generates ACPI event | ||
170 | |||
171 | Some models do not support all of the above. For example, the T30 does | ||
172 | not support Fn-F5 and Fn-F9. Other models do not support the mask at | ||
173 | all. On those models, hot keys cannot be controlled individually. | ||
174 | |||
175 | Note that enabling ACPI events for some keys prevents their default | ||
176 | behavior. For example, if events for Fn-F5 are enabled, that key will | ||
177 | no longer enable/disable Bluetooth by itself. This can still be done | ||
178 | from an acpid handler for the ibm/hotkey event. | ||
179 | |||
180 | Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through | ||
181 | ACPI. For example, on the X40, the brightness, volume and "Access IBM" | ||
182 | buttons do not generate ACPI events even with this driver. They *can* | ||
183 | be used through the "ThinkPad Buttons" utility, see | ||
184 | http://www.nongnu.org/tpb/ | ||
185 | |||
186 | procfs notes: | ||
187 | |||
188 | The following commands can be written to the /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey file: | ||
189 | |||
190 | echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable the hot keys feature | ||
191 | echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable the hot keys feature | ||
192 | echo 0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable all possible hot keys | ||
193 | echo 0x0000 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable all possible hot keys | ||
194 | ... any other 4-hex-digit mask ... | ||
195 | echo reset > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- restore the original mask | ||
196 | |||
197 | sysfs notes: | ||
198 | |||
199 | The hot keys attributes are in a hotkey/ subdirectory off the | ||
200 | thinkpad device. | ||
201 | |||
202 | bios_enabled: | ||
203 | Returns the status of the hot keys feature when | ||
204 | thinkpad-acpi was loaded. Upon module unload, the hot | ||
205 | key feature status will be restored to this value. | ||
206 | |||
207 | 0: hot keys were disabled | ||
208 | 1: hot keys were enabled | ||
209 | |||
210 | bios_mask: | ||
211 | Returns the hot keys mask when thinkpad-acpi was loaded. | ||
212 | Upon module unload, the hot keys mask will be restored | ||
213 | to this value. | ||
214 | |||
215 | enable: | ||
216 | Enables/disables the hot keys feature, and reports | ||
217 | current status of the hot keys feature. | ||
218 | |||
219 | 0: disables the hot keys feature / feature disabled | ||
220 | 1: enables the hot keys feature / feature enabled | ||
221 | |||
222 | mask: | ||
223 | bit mask to enable ACPI event generation for each hot | ||
224 | key (see above). Returns the current status of the hot | ||
225 | keys mask, and allows one to modify it. | ||
226 | |||
227 | |||
228 | Bluetooth | ||
229 | --------- | ||
230 | |||
231 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth | ||
232 | sysfs device attribute: bluetooth/enable | ||
233 | |||
234 | This feature shows the presence and current state of a ThinkPad | ||
235 | Bluetooth device in the internal ThinkPad CDC slot. | ||
236 | |||
237 | Procfs notes: | ||
238 | |||
239 | If Bluetooth is installed, the following commands can be used: | ||
240 | |||
241 | echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth | ||
242 | echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth | ||
243 | |||
244 | Sysfs notes: | ||
245 | |||
246 | If the Bluetooth CDC card is installed, it can be enabled / | ||
247 | disabled through the "bluetooth/enable" thinkpad-acpi device | ||
248 | attribute, and its current status can also be queried. | ||
249 | |||
250 | enable: | ||
251 | 0: disables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is disabled | ||
252 | 1: enables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is enabled. | ||
253 | |||
254 | Note: this interface will be probably be superseeded by the | ||
255 | generic rfkill class. | ||
256 | |||
257 | Video output control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
258 | -------------------------------------------- | ||
259 | |||
260 | This feature allows control over the devices used for video output - | ||
261 | LCD, CRT or DVI (if available). The following commands are available: | ||
262 | |||
263 | echo lcd_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
264 | echo lcd_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
265 | echo crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
266 | echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
267 | echo dvi_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
268 | echo dvi_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
269 | echo auto_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
270 | echo auto_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
271 | echo expand_toggle > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
272 | echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
273 | |||
274 | Each video output device can be enabled or disabled individually. | ||
275 | Reading /proc/acpi/ibm/video shows the status of each device. | ||
276 | |||
277 | Automatic video switching can be enabled or disabled. When automatic | ||
278 | video switching is enabled, certain events (e.g. opening the lid, | ||
279 | docking or undocking) cause the video output device to change | ||
280 | automatically. While this can be useful, it also causes flickering | ||
281 | and, on the X40, video corruption. By disabling automatic switching, | ||
282 | the flickering or video corruption can be avoided. | ||
283 | |||
284 | The video_switch command cycles through the available video outputs | ||
285 | (it simulates the behavior of Fn-F7). | ||
286 | |||
287 | Video expansion can be toggled through this feature. This controls | ||
288 | whether the display is expanded to fill the entire LCD screen when a | ||
289 | mode with less than full resolution is used. Note that the current | ||
290 | video expansion status cannot be determined through this feature. | ||
291 | |||
292 | Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics | ||
293 | chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents | ||
294 | Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching | ||
295 | features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as | ||
296 | Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work. | ||
297 | |||
298 | UPDATE: There's now a patch for the X.org Radeon driver which | ||
299 | addresses this issue. Some people are reporting success with the patch | ||
300 | while others are still having problems. For more information: | ||
301 | |||
302 | https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2000 | ||
303 | |||
304 | ThinkLight control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/light | ||
305 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
306 | |||
307 | The current status of the ThinkLight can be found in this file. A few | ||
308 | models which do not make the status available will show it as | ||
309 | "unknown". The available commands are: | ||
310 | |||
311 | echo on > /proc/acpi/ibm/light | ||
312 | echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light | ||
313 | |||
314 | Docking / undocking -- /proc/acpi/ibm/dock | ||
315 | ------------------------------------------ | ||
316 | |||
317 | Docking and undocking (e.g. with the X4 UltraBase) requires some | ||
318 | actions to be taken by the operating system to safely make or break | ||
319 | the electrical connections with the dock. | ||
320 | |||
321 | The docking feature of this driver generates the following ACPI events: | ||
322 | |||
323 | ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001 -- eject request | ||
324 | ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000002 -- undocked | ||
325 | ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003 -- docked | ||
326 | |||
327 | NOTE: These events will only be generated if the laptop was docked | ||
328 | when originally booted. This is due to the current lack of support for | ||
329 | hot plugging of devices in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was | ||
330 | booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the | ||
331 | logs: | ||
332 | |||
333 | Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present | ||
334 | |||
335 | In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and | ||
336 | undock commands described below still work. They can be executed | ||
337 | manually or triggered by Fn key combinations (see the example acpid | ||
338 | configuration files included in the driver tarball package available | ||
339 | on the web site). | ||
340 | |||
341 | When the eject request button on the dock is pressed, the first event | ||
342 | above is generated. The handler for this event should issue the | ||
343 | following command: | ||
344 | |||
345 | echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock | ||
346 | |||
347 | After the LED on the dock goes off, it is safe to eject the laptop. | ||
348 | Note: if you pressed this key by mistake, go ahead and eject the | ||
349 | laptop, then dock it back in. Otherwise, the dock may not function as | ||
350 | expected. | ||
351 | |||
352 | When the laptop is docked, the third event above is generated. The | ||
353 | handler for this event should issue the following command to fully | ||
354 | enable the dock: | ||
355 | |||
356 | echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock | ||
357 | |||
358 | The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file shows the current status | ||
359 | of the dock, as provided by the ACPI framework. | ||
360 | |||
361 | The docking support in this driver does not take care of enabling or | ||
362 | disabling any other devices you may have attached to the dock. For | ||
363 | example, a CD drive plugged into the UltraBase needs to be disabled or | ||
364 | enabled separately. See the provided example acpid configuration files | ||
365 | for how this can be accomplished. | ||
366 | |||
367 | There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a | ||
368 | docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently | ||
369 | does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that | ||
370 | the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series | ||
371 | UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the | ||
372 | latter don't need any ACPI support, actually). | ||
373 | |||
374 | UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay | ||
375 | ------------------------------------ | ||
376 | |||
377 | Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be | ||
378 | taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical | ||
379 | connections with the device. | ||
380 | |||
381 | This feature generates the following ACPI events: | ||
382 | |||
383 | ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request | ||
384 | ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted | ||
385 | |||
386 | NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present | ||
387 | when the laptop was originally booted (on the X series, the UltraBay | ||
388 | is in the dock, so it may not be present if the laptop was undocked). | ||
389 | This is due to the current lack of support for hot plugging of devices | ||
390 | in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the | ||
391 | UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs: | ||
392 | |||
393 | Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present | ||
394 | |||
395 | In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject | ||
396 | command described below still works. It can be executed manually or | ||
397 | triggered by a hot key combination. | ||
398 | |||
399 | Sliding the eject lever generates the first event shown above. The | ||
400 | handler for this event should take whatever actions are necessary to | ||
401 | shut down the device in the UltraBay (e.g. call idectl), then issue | ||
402 | the following command: | ||
403 | |||
404 | echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay | ||
405 | |||
406 | After the LED on the UltraBay goes off, it is safe to pull out the | ||
407 | device. | ||
408 | |||
409 | When the eject lever is inserted, the second event above is | ||
410 | generated. The handler for this event should take whatever actions are | ||
411 | necessary to enable the UltraBay device (e.g. call idectl). | ||
412 | |||
413 | The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/bay file shows the current status | ||
414 | of the UltraBay, as provided by the ACPI framework. | ||
415 | |||
416 | EXPERIMENTAL warm eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x (To use | ||
417 | this feature, you need to supply the experimental=1 parameter when | ||
418 | loading the module): | ||
419 | |||
420 | These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request | ||
421 | a hot eject but rather require the laptop to be put to sleep | ||
422 | (suspend-to-ram) before the bay device is ejected or inserted). | ||
423 | The sequence of steps to eject the device is as follows: | ||
424 | |||
425 | echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay | ||
426 | put the ThinkPad to sleep | ||
427 | remove the drive | ||
428 | resume from sleep | ||
429 | cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bay should show that the drive was removed | ||
430 | |||
431 | On the A3x, both the UltraBay 2000 and UltraBay Plus devices are | ||
432 | supported. Use "eject2" instead of "eject" for the second bay. | ||
433 | |||
434 | Note: the UltraBay eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x is | ||
435 | EXPERIMENTAL and may not work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION! | ||
436 | |||
437 | CMOS control | ||
438 | ------------ | ||
439 | |||
440 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos | ||
441 | sysfs device attribute: cmos_command | ||
442 | |||
443 | This feature is used internally by the ACPI firmware to control the | ||
444 | ThinkLight on most newer ThinkPad models. It may also control LCD | ||
445 | brightness, sounds volume and more, but only on some models. | ||
446 | |||
447 | The range of valid cmos command numbers is 0 to 21, but not all have an | ||
448 | effect and the behavior varies from model to model. Here is the behavior | ||
449 | on the X40 (tpb is the ThinkPad Buttons utility): | ||
450 | |||
451 | 0 - no effect but tpb reports "Volume down" | ||
452 | 1 - no effect but tpb reports "Volume up" | ||
453 | 2 - no effect but tpb reports "Mute on" | ||
454 | 3 - simulate pressing the "Access IBM" button | ||
455 | 4 - LCD brightness up | ||
456 | 5 - LCD brightness down | ||
457 | 11 - toggle screen expansion | ||
458 | 12 - ThinkLight on | ||
459 | 13 - ThinkLight off | ||
460 | 14 - no effect but tpb reports ThinkLight status change | ||
461 | |||
462 | The cmos command interface is prone to firmware split-brain problems, as | ||
463 | in newer ThinkPads it is just a compatibility layer. | ||
464 | |||
465 | LED control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/led | ||
466 | --------------------------------- | ||
467 | |||
468 | Some of the LED indicators can be controlled through this feature. The | ||
469 | available commands are: | ||
470 | |||
471 | echo '<led number> on' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led | ||
472 | echo '<led number> off' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led | ||
473 | echo '<led number> blink' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led | ||
474 | |||
475 | The <led number> range is 0 to 7. The set of LEDs that can be | ||
476 | controlled varies from model to model. Here is the mapping on the X40: | ||
477 | |||
478 | 0 - power | ||
479 | 1 - battery (orange) | ||
480 | 2 - battery (green) | ||
481 | 3 - UltraBase | ||
482 | 4 - UltraBay | ||
483 | 7 - standby | ||
484 | |||
485 | All of the above can be turned on and off and can be made to blink. | ||
486 | |||
487 | ACPI sounds -- /proc/acpi/ibm/beep | ||
488 | ---------------------------------- | ||
489 | |||
490 | The BEEP method is used internally by the ACPI firmware to provide | ||
491 | audible alerts in various situations. This feature allows the same | ||
492 | sounds to be triggered manually. | ||
493 | |||
494 | The commands are non-negative integer numbers: | ||
495 | |||
496 | echo <number> >/proc/acpi/ibm/beep | ||
497 | |||
498 | The valid <number> range is 0 to 17. Not all numbers trigger sounds | ||
499 | and the sounds vary from model to model. Here is the behavior on the | ||
500 | X40: | ||
501 | |||
502 | 0 - stop a sound in progress (but use 17 to stop 16) | ||
503 | 2 - two beeps, pause, third beep ("low battery") | ||
504 | 3 - single beep | ||
505 | 4 - high, followed by low-pitched beep ("unable") | ||
506 | 5 - single beep | ||
507 | 6 - very high, followed by high-pitched beep ("AC/DC") | ||
508 | 7 - high-pitched beep | ||
509 | 9 - three short beeps | ||
510 | 10 - very long beep | ||
511 | 12 - low-pitched beep | ||
512 | 15 - three high-pitched beeps repeating constantly, stop with 0 | ||
513 | 16 - one medium-pitched beep repeating constantly, stop with 17 | ||
514 | 17 - stop 16 | ||
515 | |||
516 | Temperature sensors | ||
517 | ------------------- | ||
518 | |||
519 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal | ||
520 | sysfs device attributes: (hwmon) temp*_input | ||
521 | |||
522 | Most ThinkPads include six or more separate temperature sensors but | ||
523 | only expose the CPU temperature through the standard ACPI methods. | ||
524 | This feature shows readings from up to eight different sensors on older | ||
525 | ThinkPads, and it has experimental support for up to sixteen different | ||
526 | sensors on newer ThinkPads. | ||
527 | |||
528 | EXPERIMENTAL: The 16-sensors feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the | ||
529 | implementation directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as | ||
530 | expected. USE WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the | ||
531 | experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. When EXPERIMENTAL | ||
532 | mode is enabled, reading the first 8 sensors on newer ThinkPads will | ||
533 | also use an new experimental thermal sensor access mode. | ||
534 | |||
535 | For example, on the X40, a typical output may be: | ||
536 | temperatures: 42 42 45 41 36 -128 33 -128 | ||
537 | |||
538 | EXPERIMENTAL: On the T43/p, a typical output may be: | ||
539 | temperatures: 48 48 36 52 38 -128 31 -128 48 52 48 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128 | ||
540 | |||
541 | The mapping of thermal sensors to physical locations varies depending on | ||
542 | system-board model (and thus, on ThinkPad model). | ||
543 | |||
544 | http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors is a public wiki page that | ||
545 | tries to track down these locations for various models. | ||
546 | |||
547 | Most (newer?) models seem to follow this pattern: | ||
548 | |||
549 | 1: CPU | ||
550 | 2: (depends on model) | ||
551 | 3: (depends on model) | ||
552 | 4: GPU | ||

583 | Procfs notes: | ||
584 | Readings from sensors that are not available return -128. | ||
585 | No commands can be written to this file. | ||
586 | |||
587 | Sysfs notes: | ||
588 | Sensors that are not available return the ENXIO error. This | ||
589 | status may change at runtime, as there are hotplug thermal | ||
590 | sensors, like those inside the batteries and docks. | ||
591 | |||
592 | thinkpad-acpi thermal sensors are reported through the hwmon | ||
593 | subsystem, and follow all of the hwmon guidelines at | ||
594 | Documentation/hwmon. | ||

596 | |||
597 | EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump -- /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump | ||
598 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
599 | |||
600 | This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation | ||
601 | directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE | ||
602 | WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the | ||
603 | experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. | ||
604 | |||
605 | This feature dumps the values of 256 embedded controller | ||
606 | registers. Values which have changed since the last time the registers | ||
607 | were dumped are marked with a star: | ||
608 | |||

627 | |||
628 | This feature can be used to determine the register holding the fan | ||
629 | speed on some models. To do that, do the following: | ||
630 | |||
631 | - make sure the battery is fully charged | ||
632 | - make sure the fan is running | ||
633 | - run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump' several times, once per second or so | ||
634 | |||
635 | The first step makes sure various charging-related values don't | ||
636 | vary. The second ensures that the fan-related values do vary, since | ||
637 | the fan speed fluctuates a bit. The third will (hopefully) mark the | ||
638 | fan register with a star: | ||
639 | |||

658 | |||
659 | Another set of values that varies often is the temperature | ||
660 | readings. Since temperatures don't change vary fast, you can take | ||
661 | several quick dumps to eliminate them. | ||
662 | |||
663 | You can use a similar method to figure out the meaning of other | ||
664 | embedded controller registers - e.g. make sure nothing else changes | ||
665 | except the charging or discharging battery to determine which | ||
666 | registers contain the current battery capacity, etc. If you experiment | ||
667 | with this, do send me your results (including some complete dumps with | ||
668 | a description of the conditions when they were taken.) | ||
669 | |||
670 | LCD brightness control | ||
671 | ---------------------- | ||
672 | |||
673 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness | ||
674 | sysfs backlight device "thinkpad_screen" | ||
675 | |||
676 | This feature allows software control of the LCD brightness on ThinkPad | ||
677 | models which don't have a hardware brightness slider. | ||
678 | |||
679 | It has some limitations: the LCD backlight cannot be actually turned on or off | ||
680 | by this interface, and in many ThinkPad models, the "dim while on battery" | ||
681 | functionality will be enabled by the BIOS when this interface is used, and | ||
682 | cannot be controlled. | ||
683 | |||
684 | The backlight control has eight levels, ranging from 0 to 7. Some of the | ||
685 | levels may not be distinct. | ||
686 | |||
687 | Procfs notes: | ||
688 | |||
689 | The available commands are: | ||
690 | |||
691 | echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness | ||
692 | echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness | ||
693 | echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness | ||
694 | |||
695 | Sysfs notes: | ||
696 | |||
697 | The interface is implemented through the backlight sysfs class, which is poorly | ||
698 | documented at this time. | ||
699 | |||
700 | Locate the thinkpad_screen device under /sys/class/backlight, and inside it | ||
701 | there will be the following attributes: | ||
702 | |||
703 | max_brightness: | ||
704 | Reads the maximum brightness the hardware can be set to. | ||
705 | The minimum is always zero. | ||
706 | |||
707 | actual_brightness: | ||
708 | Reads what brightness the screen is set to at this instant. | ||
709 | |||
710 | brightness: | ||
711 | Writes request the driver to change brightness to the given | ||
712 | value. Reads will tell you what brightness the driver is trying | ||
713 | to set the display to when "power" is set to zero and the display | ||
714 | has not been dimmed by a kernel power management event. | ||
715 | |||
716 | power: | ||
717 | power management mode, where 0 is "display on", and 1 to 3 will | ||
718 | dim the display backlight to brightness level 0 because | ||
719 | thinkpad-acpi cannot really turn the backlight off. Kernel | ||
720 | power management events can temporarily increase the current | ||
721 | power management level, i.e. they can dim the display. | ||
722 | |||
723 | |||
724 | Volume control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/volume | ||
725 | --------------------------------------- | ||
726 | |||
727 | This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models which don't have | ||
728 | a hardware volume knob. The available commands are: | ||
729 | |||
730 | echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | ||
731 | echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | ||
732 | echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | ||
733 | echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume | ||
734 | |||
735 | The <level> number range is 0 to 15 although not all of them may be | ||
736 | distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the | ||
737 | up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume). | ||
738 | The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file. | ||
739 | |||
740 | Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable | ||
741 | --------------------------------------------------------- | ||
742 | |||
743 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan | ||
744 | sysfs device attributes: (hwmon) fan_input, pwm1, pwm1_enable | ||
745 | |||
746 | NOTE NOTE NOTE: fan control operations are disabled by default for | ||
747 | safety reasons. To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1" | ||
748 | must be given to thinkpad-acpi. | ||
749 | |||
750 | This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and | ||
751 | other fan data that might be available. The speed is read directly | ||
752 | from the hardware registers of the embedded controller. This is known | ||
753 | to work on later R, T, X and Z series ThinkPads but may show a bogus | ||
754 | value on other models. | ||
755 | |||
756 | Fan levels: | ||
757 | |||
758 | Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels" at the firmware interface. Level 0 | ||
759 | stops the fan. The higher the level, the higher the fan speed, although | ||
760 | adjacent levels often map to the same fan speed. 7 is the highest | ||
761 | level, where the fan reaches the maximum recommended speed. | ||
762 | |||
763 | Level "auto" means the EC changes the fan level according to some | ||
764 | internal algorithm, usually based on readings from the thermal sensors. | ||
765 | |||
766 | There is also a "full-speed" level, also known as "disengaged" level. | ||
767 | In this level, the EC disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control, | ||
768 | and drives the fan as fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware | ||
769 | limits, so use this level with caution. | ||
770 | |||
771 | The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another, and | ||
772 | it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan | ||
773 | commands. The full-speed level may take up to two minutes to ramp up to | ||
774 | maximum speed, and in some ThinkPads, the tachometer readings go stale | ||
775 | while the EC is transitioning to the full-speed level. | ||
776 | |||
777 | WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are | ||
778 | monitoring all of the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to | ||
779 | enable it if necessary to avoid overheating. | ||
780 | |||
781 | An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the | ||
782 | ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow. This is | ||
783 | normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the varios thermal readings | ||
784 | rise too much. | ||
785 | |||
786 | On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures. | ||
787 | Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature | ||
788 | climbs to 56 degrees or the HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees. The | ||
789 | fan is turned off when the CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the | ||
790 | HDD temperature drops to 41 degrees. These thresholds cannot | ||
791 | currently be controlled. | ||
792 | |||
793 | The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when | ||
794 | certain conditions are met. It will override any fan programming done | ||
795 | through thinkpad-acpi. | ||
796 | |||
797 | The thinkpad-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan | ||
798 | level to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the procfs | ||
799 | fan commands: "enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog", or if there | ||
800 | are no writes to pwm1_enable (or to pwm1 *if and only if* pwm1_enable is | ||
801 | set to 1, manual mode) within a configurable amount of time of up to | ||
802 | 120 seconds. This functionality is called fan safety watchdog. | ||
803 | |||
804 | Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan. It will be | ||
805 | rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of the | ||
806 | above mentioned fan commands is received. The fan watchdog is, | ||
807 | therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made through | ||
808 | means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" procfs fan | ||
809 | commands, or the hwmon fan control sysfs interface. | ||
810 | |||
811 | Procfs notes: | ||
812 | |||
813 | The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands: | ||
814 | |||
815 | echo enable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan | ||
816 | echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan | ||
817 | |||
818 | Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it. Enabling a fan | ||
819 | will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled. | ||
820 | |||
821 | The fan level can be controlled with the command: | ||
822 | |||
823 | echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan | ||
824 | |||
825 | Where <level> is an integer from 0 to 7, or one of the words "auto" or | ||
826 | "full-speed" (without the quotes). Not all ThinkPads support the "auto" | ||
827 | and "full-speed" levels. The driver accepts "disengaged" as an alias for | ||
828 | "full-speed", and reports it as "disengaged" for backwards | ||
829 | compatibility. | ||
830 | |||
831 | On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be | ||
832 | controlled to a certain degree. Once the fan is running, it can be | ||
833 | forced to run faster or slower with the following command: | ||
834 | |||
835 | echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan | ||
836 | |||
837 | The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from about | ||
838 | 3700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have any | ||
839 | effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that range. The | ||
840 | fan cannot be stopped or started with this command. This functionality | ||
841 | is incomplete, and not available through the sysfs interface. | ||
842 | |||
843 | To program the safety watchdog, use the "watchdog" command. | ||
844 | |||
845 | echo 'watchdog <interval in seconds>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan | ||
846 | |||
847 | If you want to disable the watchdog, use 0 as the interval. | ||
848 | |||
849 | Sysfs notes: | ||
850 | |||
851 | The sysfs interface follows the hwmon subsystem guidelines for the most | ||
852 | part, and the exception is the fan safety watchdog. | ||
853 | |||
854 | Writes to any of the sysfs attributes may return the EINVAL error if | ||
855 | that operation is not supported in a given ThinkPad or if the parameter | ||
856 | is out-of-bounds, and EPERM if it is forbidden. They may also return | ||
857 | EINTR (interrupted system call), and EIO (I/O error while trying to talk | ||
858 | to the firmware). | ||
859 | |||
860 | Features not yet implemented by the driver return ENOSYS. | ||
861 | |||
862 | hwmon device attribute pwm1_enable: | ||
863 | 0: PWM offline (fan is set to full-speed mode) | ||
864 | 1: Manual PWM control (use pwm1 to set fan level) | ||
865 | 2: Hardware PWM control (EC "auto" mode) | ||
866 | 3: reserved (Software PWM control, not implemented yet) | ||
867 | |||
868 | Modes 0 and 2 are not supported by all ThinkPads, and the | ||
869 | driver is not always able to detect this. If it does know a | ||
870 | mode is unsupported, it will return -EINVAL. | ||
871 | |||
872 | hwmon device attribute pwm1: | ||
873 | Fan level, scaled from the firmware values of 0-7 to the hwmon | ||
874 | scale of 0-255. 0 means fan stopped, 255 means highest normal | ||
875 | speed (level 7). | ||
876 | |||
877 | This attribute only commands the fan if pmw1_enable is set to 1 | ||
878 | (manual PWM control). | ||
879 | |||
880 | hwmon device attribute fan1_input: | ||
881 | Fan tachometer reading, in RPM. May go stale on certain | ||
882 | ThinkPads while the EC transitions the PWM to offline mode, | ||
883 | which can take up to two minutes. May return rubbish on older | ||
884 | ThinkPads. | ||
885 | |||
886 | driver attribute fan_watchdog: | ||
887 | Fan safety watchdog timer interval, in seconds. Minimum is | ||
888 | 1 second, maximum is 120 seconds. 0 disables the watchdog. | ||
889 | |||
890 | To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1. | ||
891 | |||
892 | To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2. If that fails | ||
893 | with EINVAL, try to set pwm1_enable to 1 and pwm1 to at least 128 (255 | ||
894 | would be the safest choice, though). | ||
895 | |||
896 | |||
897 | EXPERIMENTAL: WAN | ||
898 | ----------------- | ||
899 | |||
900 | procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/wan | ||
901 | sysfs device attribute: wwan/enable | ||
902 | |||
903 | This feature is marked EXPERIMENTAL because the implementation | ||
904 | directly accesses hardware registers and may not work as expected. USE | ||
905 | WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply the | ||
906 | experimental=1 parameter when loading the module. | ||
907 | |||
908 | This feature shows the presence and current state of a W-WAN (Sierra | ||
909 | Wireless EV-DO) device. | ||
910 | |||
911 | It was tested on a Lenovo Thinkpad X60. It should probably work on other | ||
912 | Thinkpad models which come with this module installed. | ||
913 | |||
914 | Procfs notes: | ||
915 | |||
916 | If the W-WAN card is installed, the following commands can be used: | ||
917 | |||
918 | echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan | ||
919 | echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan | ||
920 | |||
921 | Sysfs notes: | ||
922 | |||
923 | If the W-WAN card is installed, it can be enabled / | ||
924 | disabled through the "wwan/enable" thinkpad-acpi device | ||
925 | attribute, and its current status can also be queried. | ||
926 | |||
927 | enable: | ||
928 | 0: disables WWAN card / WWAN card is disabled | ||
929 | 1: enables WWAN card / WWAN card is enabled. | ||
930 | |||
931 | Note: this interface will be probably be superseeded by the | ||
932 | generic rfkill class. | ||
933 | |||
934 | Multiple Commands, Module Parameters | ||
935 | ------------------------------------ | ||
936 | |||
937 | Multiple commands can be written to the proc files in one shot by | ||
938 | separating them with commas, for example: | ||
939 | |||
940 | echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey | ||
941 | echo lcd_disable,crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video | ||
942 | |||
943 | Commands can also be specified when loading the thinkpad-acpi module, | ||
944 | for example: | ||
945 | |||
946 | modprobe thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff video=auto_disable | ||
947 | |||
948 | Enabling debugging output | ||
949 | ------------------------- | ||
950 | |||
951 | The module takes a debug paramater which can be used to selectively | ||
952 | enable various classes of debugging output, for example: | ||
953 | |||
954 | modprobe ibm_acpi debug=0xffff | ||
955 | |||
956 | will enable all debugging output classes. It takes a bitmask, so | ||
957 | to enable more than one output class, just add their values. | ||
958 | |||
959 | Debug bitmask Description | ||
960 | 0x0001 Initialization and probing | ||
961 | 0x0002 Removal | ||
962 | |||
963 | There is also a kernel build option to enable more debugging | ||
964 | information, which may be necessary to debug driver problems. | ||
965 | |||
966 | The level of debugging information output by the driver can be changed | ||
967 | at runtime through sysfs, using the driver attribute debug_level. The | ||
968 | attribute takes the same bitmask as the debug module parameter above. | ||
969 | |||
970 | Force loading of module | ||
971 | ----------------------- | ||
972 | |||
973 | If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify | ||
974 | the module parameter force_load=1. Regardless of whether this works or | ||
975 | not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report. | ||
