πŸ’» ACPITOSHIBA(4) β€” like, the Toshiba ACPI support page, bestie πŸ’…

okay so this is acpitoshiba(4), straight out of the Kernel Interfaces Manual, and it's genuinely iconic for everyone running OpenBSD on a Toshiba laptop πŸŽ€


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

acpitoshiba* at acpi?

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it attaches at acpi? and it's living its best life πŸ¦‹


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so the acpitoshiba driver is the one that provides ACPI support for Toshiba laptops πŸ‘‘ and like, it does two whole things:

  • output switching β€” slay
  • brightness adjustment β€” also slay

now here's the tea on brightness β˜•: you can adjust it either with a brightness hotkey or with the wsconsctl(8) variable display.brightness. both? both. we love options πŸ’–

but output switching? nope, hotkey only πŸ™ˆ that's the only way to do it, no wsconsctl(8) glow-up for that one. it's giving "main character energy, one entrance only" πŸ’€
