Call for testers: New acpi_ibm driver

[Markus Brueffer]

Hi,

I'm looking for testers for a mostly rewritten and enhanced version of the 
acpi_ibm (ACPI Thinkpad Extras) driver.

You can find it along with a first draft of the new manpage at:

http://people.freebsd.org/~markus/ibm/

If you are running -CURRENT, simply replace the former driver with the new 
one in sys/dev/acpi_support and rebuild it. (sorry, no patch for 5.x for 
now).

Please mail me on failure and success and include the output of 
# sysctl hw.acpi.ibm

In any case: Please send me your DSDT for further improvement of the driver 
(even if you run FreeBSD 5):
# acpidump -t -d > name-system.asl

Changes:

- Relocation of the sysctl tree to hw.acpi.ibm and renaming of some sysctls
- Support for more hotkeys by the hotkey sysctl (see manpage)
- Improved support of ACPI events, disabled by default. You can enable it by 
setting the events sysctl to 1 (on my T41p there are now 24 different 
keypress events that get reported)
- write support for: volume, mute, brightness and thinklight
- led(4) interface for the thinklight (thanks simon)
- support for reading the fan status and speed
- support for reading up to 8 thermal sensors

Thanks in advance,

Markus
