It is inspired by the similar driver for Linux at https://github.com/victorenator/als. Only the specifications in the README = file is referenced to. It provides sysctl node hw.acpi.asus_als.light which contains the current l= ight sensor value. The unit seems to be 0.01 lux (compared to a mobile phone). This patch creates a new module under /sys/modules/acpi called acpi_asus_al= s. After loading the module, it attaches to ACPI device with hardware ID ACPI0= 008 and provides the sysctl node mentioned above. This driver is tested under 12-CURRENT on an ASUS UX51VZ laptop. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
