Example, HPDV9000: If (LEqual (Local1, 0x07)) { Store ("Fn+F7 Pressed", Debug) If (LEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6)) { If (IGDS) { Notify (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD04, 0x87) } Else { Notify (\_SB.PCI0.PEGP.VGA.LCD, 0x87) } } Else { Store (0x15, SMIF) Store (0x00, TRP0) } Fn+F7 = screen darker. See the ref to OSYS. Also: Method (_Q16, 0, NotSerialized) { Store ("!!! DVD/Music Button pressed !!!", Debug) If (LEqual (OSYS, 0x07D6)) { And: If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006")) { Store (0x07D6, OSYS) } -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
