11This is a Linux driver for the IBM and Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It
12supports various features of these laptops which are accessible
13through the ACPI and ACPI EC framework, but not otherwise fully
14supported by the generic Linux ACPI drivers.
15
16This driver used to be named ibm-acpi until kernel 2.6.21 and release
170.13-20070314.  It used to be in the drivers/acpi tree, but it was
18moved to the drivers/misc tree and renamed to thinkpad-acpi for kernel
192.6.22, and release 0.14.  It was moved to drivers/platform/x86 for
20kernel 2.6.29 and release 0.22.
21
22The driver is named "thinkpad-acpi".  In some places, like module
23names and log messages, "thinkpad_acpi" is used because of userspace
24issues.
25
26"tpacpi" is used as a shorthand where "thinkpad-acpi" would be too
27long due to length limitations on some Linux kernel versions.
28
29Status

47	- WAN enable and disable
48	- UWB enable and disable
49
50A compatibility table by model and feature is maintained on the web
51site, http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/. I appreciate any success or failure
52reports, especially if they add to or correct the compatibility table.
53Please include the following information in your report:
54
55	- ThinkPad model name
56	- a copy of your ACPI tables, using the "acpidump" utility
57	- a copy of the output of dmidecode, with serial numbers
58	  and UUIDs masked off
59	- which driver features work and which don't
60	- the observed behavior of non-working features
61
62Any other comments or patches are also more than welcome.

65Installation
66------------
67
68If you are compiling this driver as included in the Linux kernel
69sources, look for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI Kconfig option.
70It is located on the menu path: "Device Drivers" -> "X86 Platform
71Specific Device Drivers" -> "ThinkPad ACPI Laptop Extras".
72
73
74Features
75--------
76
77The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be
78used to access the features it provides.  One is a legacy procfs-based
79interface, which will be removed at some time in the future.  The other
80is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet.
81
82The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory.  There is a
83file under that directory for each feature it supports.  The procfs
84interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it
85will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead
86all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface.
87
88The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems
89and classes as much as possible.  Since some of these subsystems are not
90yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change,
91and any and all userspace programs must deal with it.
92
93
94Notes about the sysfs interface:
95
96Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking
97to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the
98thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces.
99
100Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the
101thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for
102maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in
103non-compatible ways.  As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and
104in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare.
105
106Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must
107follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs
108interface makes extensive use of errors).  File descriptors and open /
109close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented.
110
111The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver
112as a driver attribute (see below).
113
114Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space,
115for 2.6.23+ this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_acpi/ and
116/sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad_hwmon/
117
118Sysfs device attributes are on the thinkpad_acpi device sysfs attribute
119space, for 2.6.23+ this is /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/.
120
121Sysfs device attributes for the sensors and fan are on the
122thinkpad_hwmon device's sysfs attribute space, but you should locate it
123looking for a hwmon device with the name attribute of "thinkpad", or
124better yet, through libsensors.
125
126
127Driver version
128--------------
129
130procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/driver
131sysfs driver attribute: version
132
133The driver name and version. No commands can be written to this file.
134
135
136Sysfs interface version
137-----------------------
138
139sysfs driver attribute: interface_version
140
141Version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface, as an unsigned long
142(output in hex format: 0xAAAABBCC), where:
143	AAAA - major revision
144	BB - minor revision
145	CC - bugfix revision
146
147The sysfs interface version changelog for the driver can be found at the
148end of this document.  Changes to the sysfs interface done by the kernel
149subsystems are not documented here, nor are they tracked by this
150attribute.
151
152Changes to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface are only considered
153non-experimental when they are submitted to Linux mainline, at which
154point the changes in this interface are documented and interface_version
155may be updated.  If you are using any thinkpad-acpi features not yet
156sent to mainline for merging, you do so on your own risk: these features
157may disappear, or be implemented in a different and incompatible way by
158the time they are merged in Linux mainline.
159
160Changes that are backwards-compatible by nature (e.g. the addition of
161attributes that do not change the way the other attributes work) do not
162always warrant an update of interface_version.  Therefore, one must
163expect that an attribute might not be there, and deal with it properly
164(an attribute not being there *is* a valid way to make it clear that a
165feature is not available in sysfs).
166
167
168Hot keys
169--------
170
171procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
172sysfs device attribute: hotkey_*
173
174In a ThinkPad, the ACPI HKEY handler is responsible for communicating
175some important events and also keyboard hot key presses to the operating
176system.  Enabling the hotkey functionality of thinkpad-acpi signals the
177firmware that such a driver is present, and modifies how the ThinkPad
178firmware will behave in many situations.
179
180The driver enables the HKEY ("hot key") event reporting automatically
181when loaded, and disables it when it is removed.
182
183The driver will report HKEY events in the following format:
184
185	ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000xxxx
186
187Some of these events refer to hot key presses, but not all of them.
188
189The driver will generate events over the input layer for hot keys and
190radio switches, and over the ACPI netlink layer for other events.  The
191input layer support accepts the standard IOCTLs to remap the keycodes
192assigned to each hot key.
193
194The hot key bit mask allows some control over which hot keys generate
195events.  If a key is "masked" (bit set to 0 in the mask), the firmware
196will handle it.  If it is "unmasked", it signals the firmware that
197thinkpad-acpi would prefer to handle it, if the firmware would be so
198kind to allow it (and it often doesn't!).
199
200Not all bits in the mask can be modified.  Not all bits that can be
201modified do anything.  Not all hot keys can be individually controlled
202by the mask.  Some models do not support the mask at all.  The behaviour
203of the mask is, therefore, highly dependent on the ThinkPad model.
204
205The driver will filter out any unmasked hotkeys, so even if the firmware
206doesn't allow disabling an specific hotkey, the driver will not report
207events for unmasked hotkeys.
208
209Note that unmasking some keys prevents their default behavior.  For
210example, if Fn+F5 is unmasked, that key will no longer enable/disable
211Bluetooth by itself in firmware.
212
213Note also that not all Fn key combinations are supported through ACPI
214depending on the ThinkPad model and firmware version.  On those
215ThinkPads, it is still possible to support some extra hotkeys by
216polling the "CMOS NVRAM" at least 10 times per second.  The driver
217attempts to enables this functionality automatically when required.
218
219procfs notes:
220
221The following commands can be written to the /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey file:
222
223	echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- enable all hot keys
224	echo 0 > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- disable all possible hot keys
225	... any other 8-hex-digit mask ...
226	echo reset > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- restore the recommended mask
227
228The following commands have been deprecated and will cause the kernel
229to log a warning:
230
231	echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- does nothing
232	echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey -- returns an error
233
234The procfs interface does not support NVRAM polling control.  So as to
235maintain maximum bug-to-bug compatibility, it does not report any masks,
236nor does it allow one to manipulate the hot key mask when the firmware
237does not support masks at all, even if NVRAM polling is in use.
238
239sysfs notes:
240
241	hotkey_bios_enabled:
242		DEPRECATED, WILL BE REMOVED SOON.
243
244		Returns 0.
245
246	hotkey_bios_mask:
247		DEPRECATED, DON'T USE, WILL BE REMOVED IN THE FUTURE.
248
249		Returns the hot keys mask when thinkpad-acpi was loaded.
250		Upon module unload, the hot keys mask will be restored
251		to this value.   This is always 0x80c, because those are
252		the hotkeys that were supported by ancient firmware
253		without mask support.
254
255	hotkey_enable:
256		DEPRECATED, WILL BE REMOVED SOON.
257
258		0: returns -EPERM
259		1: does nothing
260
261	hotkey_mask:
262		bit mask to enable reporting (and depending on
263		the firmware, ACPI event generation) for each hot key
264		(see above).  Returns the current status of the hot keys
265		mask, and allows one to modify it.
266
267	hotkey_all_mask:
268		bit mask that should enable event reporting for all
269		supported hot keys, when echoed to hotkey_mask above.
270		Unless you know which events need to be handled
271		passively (because the firmware *will* handle them
272		anyway), do *not* use hotkey_all_mask.  Use
273		hotkey_recommended_mask, instead. You have been warned.
274
275	hotkey_recommended_mask:
276		bit mask that should enable event reporting for all
277		supported hot keys, except those which are always
278		handled by the firmware anyway.  Echo it to
279		hotkey_mask above, to use.  This is the default mask
280		used by the driver.
281
282	hotkey_source_mask:
283		bit mask that selects which hot keys will the driver
284		poll the NVRAM for.  This is auto-detected by the driver
285		based on the capabilities reported by the ACPI firmware,
286		but it can be overridden at runtime.
287
288		Hot keys whose bits are set in hotkey_source_mask are
289		polled for in NVRAM, and reported as hotkey events if
290		enabled in hotkey_mask.  Only a few hot keys are
291		available through CMOS NVRAM polling.
292
293		Warning: when in NVRAM mode, the volume up/down/mute
294		keys are synthesized according to changes in the mixer,
295		which uses a single volume up or volume down hotkey
296		press to unmute, as per the ThinkPad volume mixer user
297		interface.  When in ACPI event mode, volume up/down/mute
298		events are reported by the firmware and can behave
299		differently (and that behaviour changes with firmware
300		version -- not just with firmware models -- as well as
301		OSI(Linux) state).
302
303	hotkey_poll_freq:
304		frequency in Hz for hot key polling. It must be between
305		0 and 25 Hz.  Polling is only carried out when strictly
306		needed.
307
308		Setting hotkey_poll_freq to zero disables polling, and
309		will cause hot key presses that require NVRAM polling
310		to never be reported.
311
312		Setting hotkey_poll_freq too low may cause repeated
313		pressings of the same hot key to be misreported as a
314		single key press, or to not even be detected at all.
315		The recommended polling frequency is 10Hz.
316
317	hotkey_radio_sw:
318		If the ThinkPad has a hardware radio switch, this
319		attribute will read 0 if the switch is in the "radios
320		disabled" position, and 1 if the switch is in the
321		"radios enabled" position.
322
323		This attribute has poll()/select() support.
324
325	hotkey_tablet_mode:
326		If the ThinkPad has tablet capabilities, this attribute
327		will read 0 if the ThinkPad is in normal mode, and
328		1 if the ThinkPad is in tablet mode.
329
330		This attribute has poll()/select() support.
331
332	wakeup_reason:
333		Set to 1 if the system is waking up because the user
334		requested a bay ejection.  Set to 2 if the system is
335		waking up because the user requested the system to
336		undock.  Set to zero for normal wake-ups or wake-ups
337		due to unknown reasons.
338
339		This attribute has poll()/select() support.
340
341	wakeup_hotunplug_complete:
342		Set to 1 if the system was waken up because of an
343		undock or bay ejection request, and that request
344		was successfully completed.  At this point, it might
345		be useful to send the system back to sleep, at the
346		user's choice.  Refer to HKEY events 0x4003 and
347		0x3003, below.
348
349		This attribute has poll()/select() support.
350
351input layer notes:
352
353A Hot key is mapped to a single input layer EV_KEY event, possibly
354followed by an EV_MSC MSC_SCAN event that shall contain that key's scan
355code.  An EV_SYN event will always be generated to mark the end of the
356event block.
357
358Do not use the EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events to process keys.  They are to be
359used as a helper to remap keys, only.  They are particularly useful when
360remapping KEY_UNKNOWN keys.
361
362The events are available in an input device, with the following id:
363
364	Bus:		BUS_HOST
365	vendor:		0x1014 (PCI_VENDOR_ID_IBM)  or
366			0x17aa (PCI_VENDOR_ID_LENOVO)
367	product:	0x5054 ("TP")
368	version:	0x4101
369
370The version will have its LSB incremented if the keymap changes in a
371backwards-compatible way.  The MSB shall always be 0x41 for this input
372device.  If the MSB is not 0x41, do not use the device as described in
373this section, as it is either something else (e.g. another input device
374exported by a thinkpad driver, such as HDAPS) or its functionality has
375been changed in a non-backwards compatible way.
376
377Adding other event types for other functionalities shall be considered a
378backwards-compatible change for this input device.

485The ThinkPad firmware does not allow one to differentiate when most hot
486keys are pressed or released (either that, or we don't know how to, yet).
487For these keys, the driver generates a set of events for a key press and
488immediately issues the same set of events for a key release.  It is
489unknown by the driver if the ThinkPad firmware triggered these events on
490hot key press or release, but the firmware will do it for either one, not
491both.
492
493If a key is mapped to KEY_RESERVED, it generates no input events at all.
494If a key is mapped to KEY_UNKNOWN, it generates an input event that
495includes an scan code.  If a key is mapped to anything else, it will
496generate input device EV_KEY events.
497
498In addition to the EV_KEY events, thinkpad-acpi may also issue EV_SW
499events for switches:
500
501SW_RFKILL_ALL	T60 and later hardware rfkill rocker switch

544Battery nearly empty alarms are a last resort attempt to get the
545operating system to hibernate or shutdown cleanly (0x2313), or shutdown
546cleanly (0x2413) before power is lost.  They must be acted upon, as the
547wake up caused by the firmware will have negated most safety nets...
548
549When any of the "too hot" alarms happen, according to Lenovo the user
550should suspend or hibernate the laptop (and in the case of battery
551alarms, unplug the AC adapter) to let it cool down.  These alarms do
552signal that something is wrong, they should never happen on normal
553operating conditions.
554
555The "extremely hot" alarms are emergencies.  According to Lenovo, the
556operating system is to force either an immediate suspend or hibernate
557cycle, or a system shutdown.  Obviously, something is very wrong if this
558happens.
559
560
561Brightness hotkey notes:
562
563Don't mess with the brightness hotkeys in a Thinkpad.  If you want
564notifications for OSD, use the sysfs backlight class event support.
565
566The driver will issue KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN events
567automatically for the cases were userspace has to do something to
568implement brightness changes.  When you override these events, you will
569either fail to handle properly the ThinkPads that require explicit
570action to change backlight brightness, or the ThinkPads that require
571that no action be taken to work properly.

574Bluetooth
575---------
576
577procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
578sysfs device attribute: bluetooth_enable (deprecated)
579sysfs rfkill class: switch "tpacpi_bluetooth_sw"
580
581This feature shows the presence and current state of a ThinkPad
582Bluetooth device in the internal ThinkPad CDC slot.
583
584If the ThinkPad supports it, the Bluetooth state is stored in NVRAM,
585so it is kept across reboots and power-off.
586
587Procfs notes:
588
589If Bluetooth is installed, the following commands can be used:
590
591	echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
592	echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
593
594Sysfs notes:
595
596	If the Bluetooth CDC card is installed, it can be enabled /
597	disabled through the "bluetooth_enable" thinkpad-acpi device
598	attribute, and its current status can also be queried.
599
600	enable:
601		0: disables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is disabled
602		1: enables Bluetooth / Bluetooth is enabled.
603
604	Note: this interface has been superseded by the	generic rfkill
605	class.  It has been deprecated, and it will be removed in year
606	2010.
607
608	rfkill controller switch "tpacpi_bluetooth_sw": refer to
609	Documentation/rfkill.txt for details.
610
611
612Video output control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/video
613--------------------------------------------
614
615This feature allows control over the devices used for video output -
616LCD, CRT or DVI (if available). The following commands are available:
617
618	echo lcd_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
619	echo lcd_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
620	echo crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
621	echo crt_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
622	echo dvi_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
623	echo dvi_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
624	echo auto_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
625	echo auto_disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
626	echo expand_toggle > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
627	echo video_switch > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
628
629NOTE: Access to this feature is restricted to processes owning the
630CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for safety reasons, as it can interact badly
631enough with some versions of X.org to crash it.
632
633Each video output device can be enabled or disabled individually.
634Reading /proc/acpi/ibm/video shows the status of each device.
635
636Automatic video switching can be enabled or disabled.  When automatic
637video switching is enabled, certain events (e.g. opening the lid,
638docking or undocking) cause the video output device to change
639automatically. While this can be useful, it also causes flickering
640and, on the X40, video corruption. By disabling automatic switching,
641the flickering or video corruption can be avoided.
642
643The video_switch command cycles through the available video outputs
644(it simulates the behavior of Fn-F7).
645
646Video expansion can be toggled through this feature. This controls
647whether the display is expanded to fill the entire LCD screen when a
648mode with less than full resolution is used. Note that the current
649video expansion status cannot be determined through this feature.
650
651Note that on many models (particularly those using Radeon graphics
652chips) the X driver configures the video card in a way which prevents
653Fn-F7 from working. This also disables the video output switching
654features of this driver, as it uses the same ACPI methods as
655Fn-F7. Video switching on the console should still work.
656

660ThinkLight control
661------------------
662
663procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/light
664sysfs attributes: as per LED class, for the "tpacpi::thinklight" LED
665
666procfs notes:
667
668The ThinkLight status can be read and set through the procfs interface.  A
669few models which do not make the status available will show the ThinkLight
670status as "unknown". The available commands are:
671
672	echo on  > /proc/acpi/ibm/light
673	echo off > /proc/acpi/ibm/light
674
675sysfs notes:
676
677The ThinkLight sysfs interface is documented by the LED class
678documentation, in Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt.  The ThinkLight LED name
679is "tpacpi::thinklight".
680
681Due to limitations in the sysfs LED class, if the status of the ThinkLight
682cannot be read or if it is unknown, thinkpad-acpi will report it as "off".
683It is impossible to know if the status returned through sysfs is valid.
684
685
686CMOS/UCMS control
687-----------------
688
689procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/cmos
690sysfs device attribute: cmos_command
691
692This feature is mostly used internally by the ACPI firmware to keep the legacy
693CMOS NVRAM bits in sync with the current machine state, and to record this
694state so that the ThinkPad will retain such settings across reboots.
695
696Some of these commands actually perform actions in some ThinkPad models, but
697this is expected to disappear more and more in newer models.  As an example, in
698a T43 and in a X40, commands 12 and 13 still control the ThinkLight state for
699real, but commands 0 to 2 don't control the mixer anymore (they have been
700phased out) and just update the NVRAM.
701
702The range of valid cmos command numbers is 0 to 21, but not all have an
703effect and the behavior varies from model to model.  Here is the behavior
704on the X40 (tpb is the ThinkPad Buttons utility):
705
706	0 - Related to "Volume down" key press
707	1 - Related to "Volume up" key press
708	2 - Related to "Mute on" key press
709	3 - Related to "Access IBM" key press
710	4 - Related to "LCD brightness up" key press
711	5 - Related to "LCD brightness down" key press
712	11 - Related to "toggle screen expansion" key press/function
713	12 - Related to "ThinkLight on"
714	13 - Related to "ThinkLight off"
715	14 - Related to "ThinkLight" key press (toggle ThinkLight)
716
717The cmos command interface is prone to firmware split-brain problems, as
718in newer ThinkPads it is just a compatibility layer.  Do not use it, it is
719exported just as a debug tool.
720
721
722LED control
723-----------
724
725procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/led
726sysfs attributes: as per LED class, see below for names
727
728Some of the LED indicators can be controlled through this feature.  On
729some older ThinkPad models, it is possible to query the status of the
730LED indicators as well.  Newer ThinkPads cannot query the real status
731of the LED indicators.
732
733Because misuse of the LEDs could induce an unaware user to perform
734dangerous actions (like undocking or ejecting a bay device while the
735buses are still active), or mask an important alarm (such as a nearly
736empty battery, or a broken battery), access to most LEDs is
737restricted.
738
739Unrestricted access to all LEDs requires that thinkpad-acpi be
740compiled with the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_UNSAFE_LEDS option enabled.
741Distributions must never enable this option.  Individual users that
742are aware of the consequences are welcome to enabling it.
743
744Audio mute and microphone mute LEDs are supported, but currently not
745visible to userspace. They are used by the snd-hda-intel audio driver.
746
747procfs notes:
748
749The available commands are:
750
751	echo '<LED number> on' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
752	echo '<LED number> off' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
753	echo '<LED number> blink' >/proc/acpi/ibm/led
754
755The <LED number> range is 0 to 15. The set of LEDs that can be
756controlled varies from model to model. Here is the common ThinkPad
757mapping:
758
759	0 - power
760	1 - battery (orange)
761	2 - battery (green)
762	3 - UltraBase/dock
763	4 - UltraBay
764	5 - UltraBase battery slot
765	6 - (unknown)
766	7 - standby
767	8 - dock status 1
768	9 - dock status 2
769	10, 11 - (unknown)
770	12 - thinkvantage
771	13, 14, 15 - (unknown)
772
773All of the above can be turned on and off and can be made to blink.
774
775sysfs notes:
776
777The ThinkPad LED sysfs interface is described in detail by the LED class
778documentation, in Documentation/leds/leds-class.txt.
779
780The LEDs are named (in LED ID order, from 0 to 12):
781"tpacpi::power", "tpacpi:orange:batt", "tpacpi:green:batt",
782"tpacpi::dock_active", "tpacpi::bay_active", "tpacpi::dock_batt",
783"tpacpi::unknown_led", "tpacpi::standby", "tpacpi::dock_status1",
784"tpacpi::dock_status2", "tpacpi::unknown_led2", "tpacpi::unknown_led3",
785"tpacpi::thinkvantage".
786
787Due to limitations in the sysfs LED class, if the status of the LED
788indicators cannot be read due to an error, thinkpad-acpi will report it as
789a brightness of zero (same as LED off).
790
791If the thinkpad firmware doesn't support reading the current status,
792trying to read the current LED brightness will just return whatever
793brightness was last written to that attribute.
794
795These LEDs can blink using hardware acceleration.  To request that a
796ThinkPad indicator LED should blink in hardware accelerated mode, use the
797"timer" trigger, and leave the delay_on and delay_off parameters set to
798zero (to request hardware acceleration autodetection).
799
800LEDs that are known not to exist in a given ThinkPad model are not
801made available through the sysfs interface.  If you have a dock and you
802notice there are LEDs listed for your ThinkPad that do not exist (and
803are not in the dock), or if you notice that there are missing LEDs,
804a report to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net is appreciated.
805
806
807ACPI sounds -- /proc/acpi/ibm/beep
808----------------------------------
809
810The BEEP method is used internally by the ACPI firmware to provide
811audible alerts in various situations. This feature allows the same
812sounds to be triggered manually.
813
814The commands are non-negative integer numbers:
815
816	echo <number> >/proc/acpi/ibm/beep
817
818The valid <number> range is 0 to 17. Not all numbers trigger sounds
819and the sounds vary from model to model. Here is the behavior on the
820X40:
821
822	0 - stop a sound in progress (but use 17 to stop 16)
823	2 - two beeps, pause, third beep ("low battery")
824	3 - single beep
825	4 - high, followed by low-pitched beep ("unable")
826	5 - single beep
827	6 - very high, followed by high-pitched beep ("AC/DC")
828	7 - high-pitched beep
829	9 - three short beeps
830	10 - very long beep
831	12 - low-pitched beep
832	15 - three high-pitched beeps repeating constantly, stop with 0
833	16 - one medium-pitched beep repeating constantly, stop with 17
834	17 - stop 16
835
836
837Temperature sensors
838-------------------
839
840procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal
841sysfs device attributes: (hwmon "thinkpad") temp*_input
842
843Most ThinkPads include six or more separate temperature sensors but only
844expose the CPU temperature through the standard ACPI methods.  This
845feature shows readings from up to eight different sensors on older
846ThinkPads, and up to sixteen different sensors on newer ThinkPads.
847
848For example, on the X40, a typical output may be:
849temperatures:   42 42 45 41 36 -128 33 -128
850
851On the T43/p, a typical output may be:
852temperatures:   48 48 36 52 38 -128 31 -128 48 52 48 -128 -128 -128 -128 -128
853
854The mapping of thermal sensors to physical locations varies depending on
855system-board model (and thus, on ThinkPad model).
856
857http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors is a public wiki page that
858tries to track down these locations for various models.
859
860Most (newer?) models seem to follow this pattern:
861
8621:  CPU
8632:  (depends on model)
8643:  (depends on model)
8654:  GPU
8665:  Main battery: main sensor
8676:  Bay battery: main sensor
8687:  Main battery: secondary sensor
8698:  Bay battery: secondary sensor
8709-15: (depends on model)
871
872For the R51 (source: Thomas Gruber):
8732:  Mini-PCI
8743:  Internal HDD
875
876For the T43, T43/p (source: Shmidoax/Thinkwiki.org)

882    card, under touchpad
88311: Power regulator, underside of system board, below F2 key
884
885The A31 has a very atypical layout for the thermal sensors
886(source: Milos Popovic, http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors#ThinkPad_A31)

897Procfs notes:
898	Readings from sensors that are not available return -128.
899	No commands can be written to this file.
900
901Sysfs notes:
902	Sensors that are not available return the ENXIO error.  This
903	status may change at runtime, as there are hotplug thermal
904	sensors, like those inside the batteries and docks.
905

910EXPERIMENTAL: Embedded controller register dump
911-----------------------------------------------
912
913This feature is not included in the thinkpad driver anymore.
914Instead the EC can be accessed through /sys/kernel/debug/ec with
915a userspace tool which can be found here:
916ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/trenn/sources/ec
917
918Use it to determine the register holding the fan
919speed on some models. To do that, do the following:
920	- make sure the battery is fully charged
921	- make sure the fan is running
922	- use above mentioned tool to read out the EC
923
924Often fan and temperature values vary between
925readings. Since temperatures don't change vary fast, you can take
926several quick dumps to eliminate them.
927
928You can use a similar method to figure out the meaning of other
929embedded controller registers - e.g. make sure nothing else changes
930except the charging or discharging battery to determine which
931registers contain the current battery capacity, etc. If you experiment
932with this, do send me your results (including some complete dumps with
933a description of the conditions when they were taken.)
934
935
936LCD brightness control
937----------------------
938
939procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
940sysfs backlight device "thinkpad_screen"
941
942This feature allows software control of the LCD brightness on ThinkPad
943models which don't have a hardware brightness slider.
944
945It has some limitations: the LCD backlight cannot be actually turned
946on or off by this interface, it just controls the backlight brightness
947level.
948
949On IBM (and some of the earlier Lenovo) ThinkPads, the backlight control
950has eight brightness levels, ranging from 0 to 7.  Some of the levels
951may not be distinct.  Later Lenovo models that implement the ACPI
952display backlight brightness control methods have 16 levels, ranging
953from 0 to 15.
954
955For IBM ThinkPads, there are two interfaces to the firmware for direct
956brightness control, EC and UCMS (or CMOS).  To select which one should be
957used, use the brightness_mode module parameter: brightness_mode=1 selects
958EC mode, brightness_mode=2 selects UCMS mode, brightness_mode=3 selects EC
959mode with NVRAM backing (so that brightness changes are remembered across
960shutdown/reboot).
961
962The driver tries to select which interface to use from a table of
963defaults for each ThinkPad model.  If it makes a wrong choice, please
964report this as a bug, so that we can fix it.
965
966Lenovo ThinkPads only support brightness_mode=2 (UCMS).
967
968When display backlight brightness controls are available through the
969standard ACPI interface, it is best to use it instead of this direct
970ThinkPad-specific interface.  The driver will disable its native
971backlight brightness control interface if it detects that the standard
972ACPI interface is available in the ThinkPad.
973
974If you want to use the thinkpad-acpi backlight brightness control
975instead of the generic ACPI video backlight brightness control for some
976reason, you should use the acpi_backlight=vendor kernel parameter.
977
978The brightness_enable module parameter can be used to control whether
979the LCD brightness control feature will be enabled when available.
980brightness_enable=0 forces it to be disabled.  brightness_enable=1
981forces it to be enabled when available, even if the standard ACPI
982interface is also available.
983
984Procfs notes:
985
986	The available commands are:
987
988	echo up   >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
989	echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
990	echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/brightness
991
992Sysfs notes:
993
994The interface is implemented through the backlight sysfs class, which is
995poorly documented at this time.
996
997Locate the thinkpad_screen device under /sys/class/backlight, and inside
998it there will be the following attributes:
999
1000	max_brightness:
1001		Reads the maximum brightness the hardware can be set to.
1002		The minimum is always zero.
1003
1004	actual_brightness:
1005		Reads what brightness the screen is set to at this instant.
1006
1007	brightness:
1008		Writes request the driver to change brightness to the
1009		given value.  Reads will tell you what brightness the
1010		driver is trying to set the display to when "power" is set
1011		to zero and the display has not been dimmed by a kernel
1012		power management event.
1013
1014	power:
1015		power management mode, where 0 is "display on", and 1 to 3
1016		will dim the display backlight to brightness level 0
1017		because thinkpad-acpi cannot really turn the backlight
1018		off.  Kernel power management events can temporarily
1019		increase the current power management level, i.e. they can
1020		dim the display.
1021
1022
1023WARNING:
1024
1025    Whatever you do, do NOT ever call thinkpad-acpi backlight-level change
1026    interface and the ACPI-based backlight level change interface
1027    (available on newer BIOSes, and driven by the Linux ACPI video driver)
1028    at the same time.  The two will interact in bad ways, do funny things,
1029    and maybe reduce the life of the backlight lamps by needlessly kicking
1030    its level up and down at every change.
1031
1032
1033Volume control (Console Audio control)
1034--------------------------------------
1035
1036procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1037ALSA: "ThinkPad Console Audio Control", default ID: "ThinkPadEC"
1038
1039NOTE: by default, the volume control interface operates in read-only
1040mode, as it is supposed to be used for on-screen-display purposes.
1041The read/write mode can be enabled through the use of the
1042"volume_control=1" module parameter.
1043
1044NOTE: distros are urged to not enable volume_control by default, this
1045should be done by the local admin only.  The ThinkPad UI is for the
1046console audio control to be done through the volume keys only, and for
1047the desktop environment to just provide on-screen-display feedback.
1048Software volume control should be done only in the main AC97/HDA
1049mixer.
1050
1051
1052About the ThinkPad Console Audio control:
1053
1054ThinkPads have a built-in amplifier and muting circuit that drives the
1055console headphone and speakers.  This circuit is after the main AC97
1056or HDA mixer in the audio path, and under exclusive control of the
1057firmware.
1058
1059ThinkPads have three special hotkeys to interact with the console
1060audio control: volume up, volume down and mute.
1061
1062It is worth noting that the normal way the mute function works (on
1063ThinkPads that do not have a "mute LED") is:

10651. Press mute to mute.  It will *always* mute, you can press it as
1066   many times as you want, and the sound will remain mute.
1067
10682. Press either volume key to unmute the ThinkPad (it will _not_
1069   change the volume, it will just unmute).
1070
1071This is a very superior design when compared to the cheap software-only
1072mute-toggle solution found on normal consumer laptops:  you can be
1073absolutely sure the ThinkPad will not make noise if you press the mute
1074button, no matter the previous state.
1075
1076The IBM ThinkPads, and the earlier Lenovo ThinkPads have variable-gain
1077amplifiers driving the speakers and headphone output, and the firmware
1078also handles volume control for the headphone and speakers on these
1079ThinkPads without any help from the operating system (this volume
1080control stage exists after the main AC97 or HDA mixer in the audio
1081path).
1082
1083The newer Lenovo models only have firmware mute control, and depend on
1084the main HDA mixer to do volume control (which is done by the operating
1085system).  In this case, the volume keys are filtered out for unmute
1086key press (there are some firmware bugs in this area) and delivered as
1087normal key presses to the operating system (thinkpad-acpi is not
1088involved).
1089
1090
1091The ThinkPad-ACPI volume control:
1092
1093The preferred way to interact with the Console Audio control is the
1094ALSA interface.
1095
1096The legacy procfs interface allows one to read the current state,
1097and if volume control is enabled, accepts the following commands:
1098
1099	echo up   >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1100	echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1101	echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1102	echo unmute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1103	echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
1104
1105The <level> number range is 0 to 14 although not all of them may be
1106distinct. To unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
1107up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume), or
1108the unmute command.
1109
1110You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver
1111whether your thinkpad has volume control or mute-only control:
1112volume_capabilities=1 for mixers with mute and volume control,
1113volume_capabilities=2 for mixers with only mute control.
1114
1115If the driver misdetects the capabilities for your ThinkPad model,
1116please report this to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, so that we
1117can update the driver.
1118
1119There are two strategies for volume control.  To select which one
1120should be used, use the volume_mode module parameter: volume_mode=1
1121selects EC mode, and volume_mode=3 selects EC mode with NVRAM backing
1122(so that volume/mute changes are remembered across shutdown/reboot).
1123
1124The driver will operate in volume_mode=3 by default. If that does not
1125work well on your ThinkPad model, please report this to
1126ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
1127
1128The driver supports the standard ALSA module parameters.  If the ALSA
1129mixer is disabled, the driver will disable all volume functionality.

1132Fan control and monitoring: fan speed, fan enable/disable
1133---------------------------------------------------------
1134
1135procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1136sysfs device attributes: (hwmon "thinkpad") fan1_input, pwm1,
1137			  pwm1_enable, fan2_input
1138sysfs hwmon driver attributes: fan_watchdog
1139
1140NOTE NOTE NOTE: fan control operations are disabled by default for
1141safety reasons.  To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1"
1142must be given to thinkpad-acpi.
1143
1144This feature attempts to show the current fan speed, control mode and
1145other fan data that might be available.  The speed is read directly
1146from the hardware registers of the embedded controller.  This is known
1147to work on later R, T, X and Z series ThinkPads but may show a bogus
1148value on other models.
1149
1150Some Lenovo ThinkPads support a secondary fan.  This fan cannot be
1151controlled separately, it shares the main fan control.
1152
1153Fan levels:
1154
1155Most ThinkPad fans work in "levels" at the firmware interface.  Level 0
1156stops the fan.  The higher the level, the higher the fan speed, although
1157adjacent levels often map to the same fan speed.  7 is the highest
1158level, where the fan reaches the maximum recommended speed.
1159
1160Level "auto" means the EC changes the fan level according to some
1161internal algorithm, usually based on readings from the thermal sensors.
1162
1163There is also a "full-speed" level, also known as "disengaged" level.
1164In this level, the EC disables the speed-locked closed-loop fan control,
1165and drives the fan as fast as it can go, which might exceed hardware
1166limits, so use this level with caution.
1167
1168The fan usually ramps up or down slowly from one speed to another, and
1169it is normal for the EC to take several seconds to react to fan
1170commands.  The full-speed level may take up to two minutes to ramp up to
1171maximum speed, and in some ThinkPads, the tachometer readings go stale
1172while the EC is transitioning to the full-speed level.
1173
1174WARNING WARNING WARNING: do not leave the fan disabled unless you are
1175monitoring all of the temperature sensor readings and you are ready to
1176enable it if necessary to avoid overheating.
1177
1178An enabled fan in level "auto" may stop spinning if the EC decides the
1179ThinkPad is cool enough and doesn't need the extra airflow.  This is
1180normal, and the EC will spin the fan up if the various thermal readings
1181rise too much.
1182
1183On the X40, this seems to depend on the CPU and HDD temperatures.
1184Specifically, the fan is turned on when either the CPU temperature
1185climbs to 56 degrees or the HDD temperature climbs to 46 degrees.  The
1186fan is turned off when the CPU temperature drops to 49 degrees and the
1187HDD temperature drops to 41 degrees.  These thresholds cannot
1188currently be controlled.
1189
1190The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when
1191certain conditions are met.  It will override any fan programming done
1192through thinkpad-acpi.
1193
1194The thinkpad-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan
1195level to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the procfs
1196fan commands: "enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog", or if there
1197are no writes to pwm1_enable (or to pwm1 *if and only if* pwm1_enable is
1198set to 1, manual mode) within a configurable amount of time of up to
1199120 seconds.  This functionality is called fan safety watchdog.
1200
1201Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan.  It will be
1202rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of the
1203above mentioned fan commands is received.  The fan watchdog is,
1204therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made through
1205means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" procfs fan
1206commands, or the hwmon fan control sysfs interface.
1207
1208Procfs notes:
1209
1210The fan may be enabled or disabled with the following commands:
1211
1212	echo enable  >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1213	echo disable >/proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1214
1215Placing a fan on level 0 is the same as disabling it.  Enabling a fan
1216will try to place it in a safe level if it is too slow or disabled.
1217
1218The fan level can be controlled with the command:
1219
1220	echo 'level <level>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1221
1222Where <level> is an integer from 0 to 7, or one of the words "auto" or
1223"full-speed" (without the quotes).  Not all ThinkPads support the "auto"
1224and "full-speed" levels.  The driver accepts "disengaged" as an alias for
1225"full-speed", and reports it as "disengaged" for backwards
1226compatibility.
1227
1228On the X31 and X40 (and ONLY on those models), the fan speed can be
1229controlled to a certain degree.  Once the fan is running, it can be
1230forced to run faster or slower with the following command:
1231
1232	echo 'speed <speed>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1233
1234The sustainable range of fan speeds on the X40 appears to be from about
12353700 to about 7350. Values outside this range either do not have any
1236effect or the fan speed eventually settles somewhere in that range.  The
1237fan cannot be stopped or started with this command.  This functionality
1238is incomplete, and not available through the sysfs interface.
1239
1240To program the safety watchdog, use the "watchdog" command.
1241
1242	echo 'watchdog <interval in seconds>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
1243
1244If you want to disable the watchdog, use 0 as the interval.
1245
1246Sysfs notes:
1247
1248The sysfs interface follows the hwmon subsystem guidelines for the most
1249part, and the exception is the fan safety watchdog.
1250
1251Writes to any of the sysfs attributes may return the EINVAL error if
1252that operation is not supported in a given ThinkPad or if the parameter
1253is out-of-bounds, and EPERM if it is forbidden.  They may also return
1254EINTR (interrupted system call), and EIO (I/O error while trying to talk
1255to the firmware).
1256
1257Features not yet implemented by the driver return ENOSYS.
1258
1259hwmon device attribute pwm1_enable:
1260	0: PWM offline (fan is set to full-speed mode)
1261	1: Manual PWM control (use pwm1 to set fan level)
1262	2: Hardware PWM control (EC "auto" mode)
1263	3: reserved (Software PWM control, not implemented yet)
1264
1265	Modes 0 and 2 are not supported by all ThinkPads, and the
1266	driver is not always able to detect this.  If it does know a
1267	mode is unsupported, it will return -EINVAL.
1268
1269hwmon device attribute pwm1:
1270	Fan level, scaled from the firmware values of 0-7 to the hwmon
1271	scale of 0-255.  0 means fan stopped, 255 means highest normal
1272	speed (level 7).
1273
1274	This attribute only commands the fan if pmw1_enable is set to 1
1275	(manual PWM control).
1276
1277hwmon device attribute fan1_input:
1278	Fan tachometer reading, in RPM.  May go stale on certain
1279	ThinkPads while the EC transitions the PWM to offline mode,
1280	which can take up to two minutes.  May return rubbish on older
1281	ThinkPads.
1282
1283hwmon device attribute fan2_input:
1284	Fan tachometer reading, in RPM, for the secondary fan.
1285	Available only on some ThinkPads.  If the secondary fan is
1286	not installed, will always read 0.
1287
1288hwmon driver attribute fan_watchdog:
1289	Fan safety watchdog timer interval, in seconds.  Minimum is
1290	1 second, maximum is 120 seconds.  0 disables the watchdog.
1291
1292To stop the fan: set pwm1 to zero, and pwm1_enable to 1.
1293
1294To start the fan in a safe mode: set pwm1_enable to 2.  If that fails
1295with EINVAL, try to set pwm1_enable to 1 and pwm1 to at least 128 (255
1296would be the safest choice, though).
1297

1299WAN
1300---
1301
1302procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
1303sysfs device attribute: wwan_enable (deprecated)
1304sysfs rfkill class: switch "tpacpi_wwan_sw"
1305
1306This feature shows the presence and current state of the built-in
1307Wireless WAN device.
1308
1309If the ThinkPad supports it, the WWAN state is stored in NVRAM,
1310so it is kept across reboots and power-off.
1311
1312It was tested on a Lenovo ThinkPad X60. It should probably work on other
1313ThinkPad models which come with this module installed.
1314
1315Procfs notes:
1316
1317If the W-WAN card is installed, the following commands can be used:
1318
1319	echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
1320	echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/wan
1321
1322Sysfs notes:
1323
1324	If the W-WAN card is installed, it can be enabled /
1325	disabled through the "wwan_enable" thinkpad-acpi device
1326	attribute, and its current status can also be queried.
1327
1328	enable:
1329		0: disables WWAN card / WWAN card is disabled
1330		1: enables WWAN card / WWAN card is enabled.
1331
1332	Note: this interface has been superseded by the	generic rfkill
1333	class.  It has been deprecated, and it will be removed in year
1334	2010.

1339
1340EXPERIMENTAL: UWB
1341-----------------
1342
1343This feature is considered EXPERIMENTAL because it has not been extensively
1344tested and validated in various ThinkPad models yet.  The feature may not
1345work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION! To use this feature, you need to supply
1346the experimental=1 parameter when loading the module.
1347
1348sysfs rfkill class: switch "tpacpi_uwb_sw"
1349
1350This feature exports an rfkill controller for the UWB device, if one is
1351present and enabled in the BIOS.
1352
1353Sysfs notes:
1354
1355	rfkill controller switch "tpacpi_uwb_sw": refer to
1356	Documentation/rfkill.txt for details.
1357
1358Adaptive keyboard
1359-----------------
1360
1361sysfs device attribute: adaptive_kbd_mode
1362
1363This sysfs attribute controls the keyboard "face" that will be shown on the
1364Lenovo X1 Carbon 2nd gen (2014)'s adaptive keyboard. The value can be read
1365and set.
1366
13671 = Home mode
13682 = Web-browser mode
13693 = Web-conference mode
13704 = Function mode
13715 = Layflat mode
1372
1373For more details about which buttons will appear depending on the mode, please
1374review the laptop's user guide:
1375http://www.lenovo.com/shop/americas/content/user_guides/x1carbon_2_ug_en.pdf
1376
1377Multiple Commands, Module Parameters
1378------------------------------------
1379
1380Multiple commands can be written to the proc files in one shot by
1381separating them with commas, for example:
1382
1383	echo enable,0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey
1384	echo lcd_disable,crt_enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/video
1385
1386Commands can also be specified when loading the thinkpad-acpi module,
1387for example:
1388
1389	modprobe thinkpad_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff video=auto_disable
1390
1391
1392Enabling debugging output
1393-------------------------
1394
1395The module takes a debug parameter which can be used to selectively
1396enable various classes of debugging output, for example:
1397
1398	 modprobe thinkpad_acpi debug=0xffff
1399
1400will enable all debugging output classes.  It takes a bitmask, so
1401to enable more than one output class, just add their values.
1402
1403	Debug bitmask		Description
1404	0x8000			Disclose PID of userspace programs
1405				accessing some functions of the driver
1406	0x0001			Initialization and probing
1407	0x0002			Removal
1408	0x0004			RF Transmitter control (RFKILL)
1409				(bluetooth, WWAN, UWB...)
1410	0x0008			HKEY event interface, hotkeys
1411	0x0010			Fan control
1412	0x0020			Backlight brightness
1413	0x0040			Audio mixer/volume control
1414
1415There is also a kernel build option to enable more debugging
1416information, which may be necessary to debug driver problems.
1417
1418The level of debugging information output by the driver can be changed
1419at runtime through sysfs, using the driver attribute debug_level.  The
1420attribute takes the same bitmask as the debug module parameter above.
1421
1422
1423Force loading of module
1424-----------------------
1425
1426If thinkpad-acpi refuses to detect your ThinkPad, you can try to specify
1427the module parameter force_load=1.  Regardless of whether this works or
1428not, please contact ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net with a report.

1431Sysfs interface changelog:
1432
14330x000100:	Initial sysfs support, as a single platform driver and
1434		device.
14350x000200:	Hot key support for 32 hot keys, and radio slider switch
1436		support.
14370x010000:	Hot keys are now handled by default over the input
1438		layer, the radio switch generates input event EV_RADIO,
1439		and the driver enables hot key handling by default in
1440		the firmware.
1441
14420x020000:	ABI fix: added a separate hwmon platform device and
1443		driver, which must be located by name (thinkpad)
1444		and the hwmon class for libsensors4 (lm-sensors 3)
1445		compatibility.  Moved all hwmon attributes to this
1446		new platform device.
1447
14480x020100:	Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling
1449		support.  If you must, use it to know you should not
1450		start a userspace NVRAM poller (allows to detect when
1451		NVRAM is compiled out by the user because it is
1452		unneeded/undesired in the first place).
14530x020101:	Marker for thinkpad-acpi with hot key NVRAM polling
1454		and proper hotkey_mask semantics (version 8 of the
1455		NVRAM polling patch).  Some development snapshots of
1456		0.18 had an earlier version that did strange things
1457		to hotkey_mask.
1458
14590x020200:	Add poll()/select() support to the following attributes:
1460		hotkey_radio_sw, wakeup_hotunplug_complete, wakeup_reason
1461
14620x020300:	hotkey enable/disable support removed, attributes
1463		hotkey_bios_enabled and hotkey_enable deprecated and
1464		marked for removal.
1465
14660x020400:	Marker for 16 LEDs support.  Also, LEDs that are known
1467		to not exist in a given model are not registered with
1468		the LED sysfs class anymore.
1469
14700x020500:	Updated hotkey driver, hotkey_mask is always available
1471		and it is always able to disable hot keys.  Very old
1472		thinkpads are properly supported.  hotkey_bios_mask
1473		is deprecated and marked for removal.
1474
14750x020600:	Marker for backlight change event support.
1476
14770x020700:	Support for mute-only mixers.
1478		Volume control in read-only mode by default.
1479		Marker for ALSA mixer support.
1480
