💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

The acpithinkpad driver provides ACPI support for IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad laptops. It responds to various hotkey button presses such as the brightness adjustment and wireless toggle keys. no cap, it’s the one handling those little keyboard moments. 🎀

It also sets up various sensors that indicate the current state of certain hardware devices present on ThinkPad laptops. These include temperature sensors and fan rotational speed sensors, as well as a sensor indicating the current state of the port replicator device. 🌡️🌀

These sensors can be used with sensorsd(8) to perform events on sensor state changes. so yes, you can make things happen when a sensor state changes — iykyk. 💜

heads up bestie: the port replicator indicator will report a state of UNKNOWN until the first port replicator connect/disconnect event is received. 🙈
