DESCRIPTION
NetBSD provides machine-independent bus support for ACPI devices and
includes several ACPI device drivers.
The NetBSD implementation of ACPI integrates Intel's ACPI Component
Architecture (aka ACPI-CA) for the OS-independent part. The ACPI-CA pro-
vides OS-neutral ACPI functionalities such as ACPI BIOS table support, an
ACPI event framework and an AML (ACPI Machine Language) interpreter.
Options:
ACPI_DEBUG Enable ACPI debugging message outputs.
ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV Determine if the ACPI driver should
attempt to activate inactive devices.
The default is off.
ACPICA_PEDANTIC Force strict conformance to the ACPI
specification in the ACPI-CA. Do not
enable this option unless you are debug-
ging.
ACPI_DSDT_OVERRIDE Force a given DSDT instead of the BIOS-
supplied version. Use ACPI_DSDT_FILE to
specify a DSDT.
ACPI_DSDT_FILE="filename" If ACPI_DSDT_FILE is not specified,
default to ``dsdt.hex'' in the build
directory.
sysctl support
Two sysctl(8) settings are especially relevant for acpi:
hw.acpi_supported_states and machdep.acpi_vbios_reset.
hw.acpi_supported_states is a list of the supported states (see
sysctl(7)). machdep.acpi_vbios_reset defines the handling of the graph-
ics card. The supported values for this are:
0
No attempt to reset the VGA controller is done.
1
Call the VGA BIOS when still in real mode. This can result in direct
reboots. In that case, use `2' or vbetool post from the
pkgsrc/sysutils/vbetool package.
2
Call the VGA BIOS using the in-kernel x86 emulator.
