The acpi4asus project creates a Linux kernel driver that enables Asus laptop users to utilize their device's full functionalities.
The acpi4asus project is an incredible kernel driver designed specifically for Asus laptops running on Linux. It aims to provide users with the ability to access all the functionalities of their computers, including special keys, LEDs, and brightness control. The driver, asus_acpi, provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible ASUS laptops and may also support some MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops such as MEDION 9675 or VICTOR XP7210.
The driver makes all the extra buttons generate standard ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events. On some models, the driver adds support for changing the display brightness and output, switching the LCD backlight on and off, and allows you to blink those fancy LEDs intended for reporting mail and wireless status.
The deamon, asus_acpid, is also an essential component of acpi4asus project. Ubuntu users must use the acpi-support package, which should be installed by default since 6.10.
If your laptop is not supported (see dmesg after modprobe asus_acpi), try # modprobe asus_acpi unsupported=1 # cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > /tmp/YOUR_MODEL.dsdt and send us YOUR_MODEL.dsdt.
What's new in this release? The acpi4asus project added many features to improve your experience, including using acpi_evaluate_integer instead of read_acpi_int to set CWAP if the method exists, adding wapf parameter, making WORKQUEUE static, adding GPS support, fixing LightSensors support, handling all events (> 0x80 too), and finally, some cleanups.
