350 Allows the thinkpad_acpi driver to provide an interface to control
351 the various video output ports.
352
353 This feature often won't work well, depending on ThinkPad model,
354 display state, video output devices in use, whether there is a X
355 server running, phase of the moon, and the current mood of
356 Schroedinger's cat. If you can use X.org's RandR to control
357 your ThinkPad's video output ports instead of this feature,
358 don't think twice: do it and say N here to save some memory.

363 bool "Suport NVRAM polling for hot keys"
364 depends on THINKPAD_ACPI
365 default y
366 ---help---
367 Some thinkpad models benefit from NVRAM polling to detect a few of
368 the hot key press events. If you know your ThinkPad model does not
369 need to do NVRAM polling to support any of the hot keys you use,
370 unselecting this option will save about 1kB of memory.
371
372 ThinkPads T40 and newer, R52 and newer, and X31 and newer are
373 unlikely to need NVRAM polling in their latest BIOS versions.
374
375 NVRAM polling can detect at most the following keys: ThinkPad/Access
376 IBM, Zoom, Switch Display (fn+F7), ThinkLight, Volume up/down/mute,
377 Brightness up/down, Display Expand (fn+F8), Hibernate (fn+F12).
378
379 If you are not sure, say Y here. The driver enables polling only if
380 it is strictly necessary to do so.

444 The channel interface driver allows applications to communicate
445 with iLO/iLO2 management processors present on HP ProLiant
446 servers. Upon loading, the driver creates /dev/hpilo/dXccbN files,
447 which can be used to gather data from the management processor,
448 via read and write system calls.

450 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
451 module will be called hpilo.
