ACPISURFACE(4)

🎀 NAME 🎀

acpisurface — Microsoft Surface Book ACPI support. Okay bestie, this is acpisurface(4) from the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it's literally the ACPI support driver for Microsoft Surface Book laptops 💻✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The whole config vibe is this one-liner, no cap:

acpisurface* at acpi?

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so the acpisurface driver provides ACPI support for Microsoft Surface Book laptops. It responds to various button presses such as volume up/down and power buttons — all of which are located on the top of the tablet/detachable display. It does not provide support for the hotkeys in the keyboard/base unit, periodt 💀

Volume up/down button presses are routed to the master system mixer via the wscons(4) subsystem. Power button presses result in a soft power off request being queued by the acpi(4) subsystem. That's the whole vibe: mixer routing for volume, soft power-off queuing for power 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Go read these too, bestie:

• acpi(4)
• audio(4)
• wscons(4)

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

The acpisurface driver first appeared in OpenBSD 6.4. Iconic behavior 👑✨
