17 tristate "Atmel AT32/AT91 PWM support"
18 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91SAM9263 || ARCH_AT91SAM9RL || ARCH_AT91CAP9
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

103 SGI IO controller cards (IO9, IO10, and PCI-RT). This option
104 does not enable any specific functions on such a card, but provides
105 necessary infrastructure for other drivers to utilize.
107 If you have an SGI Altix with an IOC4-based card say Y.
111 tristate "TI Flash Media interface support (EXPERIMENTAL)"
112 depends on EXPERIMENTAL && PCI
114 If you want support for Texas Instruments(R) Flash Media adapters

238 will be called ics932s401.
241 tristate "MSI Laptop Extras"
244 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
246 This is a driver for laptops built by MSI (MICRO-STAR
249 MSI MegaBook S270 (MS-1013)
250 Cytron/TCM/Medion/Tchibo MD96100/SAM2000

264 This driver adds support for access to backlight control and hotkeys
265 on Panasonic Let's Note laptops.
267 If you have a Panasonic Let's note laptop (such as the R1(N variant),
268 R2, R3, R5, T2, W2 and Y2 series), say Y.

306 Build the sonypi driver compatibility code into the sony-laptop driver.
309 tristate "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras"
310 depends on X86 && ACPI
311 select BACKLIGHT_LCD_SUPPORT
312 select BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
321 This is a driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It adds
322 support for Fn-Fx key combinations, Bluetooth control, video
323 output switching, ThinkLight control, UltraBay eject and more.
324 For more information about this driver see
325 <file:Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt> and
326 <http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/> .
328 This driver was formerly known as ibm-acpi.
330 If you have an IBM or Lenovo ThinkPad laptop, say Y or M here.
332 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DEBUG
333 bool "Verbose debug mode"
334 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
337 Enables extra debugging information, at the expense of a slightly
338 increase in driver size.
340 If you are not sure, say N here.
342 config THINKPAD_ACPI_DOCK
343 bool "Legacy Docking Station Support"
344 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
345 depends on ACPI_DOCK=n
348 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle docking station events.
349 This support was made obsolete by the generic ACPI docking station
350 support (CONFIG_ACPI_DOCK). It will allow locking and removing the
351 laptop from the docking station, but will not properly connect PCI
354 If you are not sure, say N here.
356 config THINKPAD_ACPI_BAY
357 bool "Legacy Removable Bay Support"
358 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
361 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to handle removable bays. It will
362 electrically disable the device in the bay, and also generate
363 notifications when the bay lever is ejected or inserted.
365 If you are not sure, say Y here.
367 config THINKPAD_ACPI_VIDEO
368 bool "Video output control support"
369 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
372 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
373 the various video output ports.
375 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
376 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
377 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
378 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
379 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
380 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.
382 If you are not sure, say Y here.
384 config THINKPAD_ACPI_HOTKEY_POLL
385 bool "Support NVRAM polling for hot keys"
386 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
389 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
390 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
391 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
392 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
394 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
395 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
397 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
398 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
399 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
401 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
402 it is strictly necessary to do so.
405 tristate "Device driver for Atmel SSC peripheral"
406 depends on AVR32 || ARCH_AT91
408 This option enables device driver support for Atmel Syncronized
409 Serial Communication peripheral (SSC).
411 The SSC peripheral supports a wide variety of serial frame based
412 communications, i.e. I2S, SPI, etc.
417 tristate "Thermal Management driver for Intel menlow platform"
418 depends on ACPI_THERMAL
422 ACPI thermal management enhancement driver on
423 Intel Menlow platform.
428 tristate "Eee PC Hotkey Driver (EXPERIMENTAL)"
431 depends on BACKLIGHT_CLASS_DEVICE
433 depends on EXPERIMENTAL
436 This driver supports the Fn-Fx keys on Eee PC laptops.
437 It also adds the ability to switch camera/wlan on/off.
439 If you have an Eee PC laptop, say Y or M here.
441 config ENCLOSURE_SERVICES
442 tristate "Enclosure Services"
445 Provides support for intelligent enclosures (bays which
446 contain storage devices). You also need either a host
447 driver (SCSI/ATA) which supports enclosures
448 or a SCSI enclosure device (SES) to use these services.
451 tristate "Support communication between SGI SSIs"
453 depends on (IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2 || IA64_SGI_UV || X86_64) && SMP
454 select IA64_UNCACHED_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
455 select GENERIC_ALLOCATOR if IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_SN2
456 select SGI_GRU if (IA64_GENERIC || IA64_SGI_UV || X86_64) && SMP
458 An SGI machine can be divided into multiple Single System
459 Images which act independently of each other and have
460 hardware based memory protection from the others. Enabling
461 this feature will allow for direct communication between SSIs
462 based on a network adapter and DMA messaging.
465 tristate "Channel interface driver for HP iLO/iLO2 processor"
469 The channel interface driver allows applications to communicate
470 with iLO/iLO2 management processors present on HP ProLiant
471 servers. Upon loading, the driver creates /dev/hpilo/dXccbN files,
472 which can be used to gather data from the management processor,
473 via read and write system calls.
475 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
476 module will be called hpilo.
479 tristate "SGI GRU driver"
480 depends on (X86_64 || IA64_SGI_UV || IA64_GENERIC) && SMP
484 The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU
485 contains memory that can be mmapped into the user address space. This memory is
486 used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as load/store,
487 scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly accessed by user
488 instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU instructions (ex., bcopy) use
489 user virtual addresses for operands.
491 If you are not running on a SGI UV system, say N.
494 bool "SGI GRU driver debug"
498 This option enables addition debugging code for the SGI GRU driver. If
499 you are unsure, say N.
