-
-This driver enables access to the Sony Programmable I/O Control Device which
-can be found in many Sony Vaio laptops. Some newer Sony laptops (seems to be
-limited to new FX series laptops, at least the FX501 and the FX702) lack a
-sonypi device and are not supported at all by this driver.
-
-It will give access (through a user space utility) to some events those laptops
-generate, like:
-	- jogdial events (the small wheel on the side of Vaios)
-	- capture button events (only on Vaio Picturebook series)
-	- Fn keys
-	- bluetooth button (only on C1VR model)
-	- programmable keys, back, help, zoom, thumbphrase buttons, etc.
-	  (when available)
-
-Those events (see linux/sonypi.h) can be polled using the character device node
-/dev/sonypi (major 10, minor auto allocated or specified as a option).
-A simple daemon which translates the jogdial movements into mouse wheel events
-can be downloaded at: <http://popies.net/sonypi/>
-
-Another option to intercept the events is to get them directly through the
-input layer.
-
-This driver supports also some ioctl commands for setting the LCD screen
-brightness and querying the batteries charge information (some more
-commands may be added in the future).
-
-This driver can also be used to set the camera controls on Picturebook series
-(brightness, contrast etc), and is used by the video4linux driver for the
-Motion Eye camera.
-
-Please note that this driver was created by reverse engineering the Windows
-driver and the ACPI BIOS, because Sony doesn't agree to release any programming
-specs for its laptops. If someone convinces them to do so, drop me a note.
-
-Driver options:
----------------
-
-Several options can be passed to the sonypi driver using the standard
-module argument syntax (<param>=<value> when passing the option to the
-module or sonypi.<param>=<value> on the kernel boot line when sonypi is
-statically linked into the kernel). Those options are:
-
-	minor: 		minor number of the misc device /dev/sonypi,
-			default is -1 (automatic allocation, see /proc/misc
-			or kernel logs)
-
-	camera:		if you have a PictureBook series Vaio (with the
-			integrated MotionEye camera), set this parameter to 1
-			in order to let the driver access to the camera
-
-	fnkeyinit:	on some Vaios (C1VE, C1VR etc), the Fn key events don't
-			get enabled unless you set this parameter to 1.
-			Do not use this option unless it's actually necessary,
-			some Vaio models don't deal well with this option.
-			This option is available only if the kernel is
-			compiled without ACPI support (since it conflicts
-			with it and it shouldn't be required anyway if
-			ACPI is already enabled).
-
-	verbose:	set to 1 to print unknown events received from the
-			sonypi device.
-			set to 2 to print all events received from the
-			sonypi device.
-
-	compat:		uses some compatibility code for enabling the sonypi
-			events. If the driver worked for you in the past
-			(prior to version 1.5) and does not work anymore,
-			add this option and report to the author.
-
-	mask:		event mask telling the driver what events will be
-			reported to the user. This parameter is required for
-			some Vaio models where the hardware reuses values
-			used in other Vaio models (like the FX series who does
-			not have a jogdial but reuses the jogdial events for
-			programmable keys events). The default event mask is
-			set to 0xffffffff, meaning that all possible events
-			will be tried. You can use the following bits to
-			construct your own event mask (from
-			drivers/char/sonypi.h):
-				SONYPI_JOGGER_MASK 		0x0001
-				SONYPI_CAPTURE_MASK 		0x0002
-				SONYPI_FNKEY_MASK 		0x0004
-				SONYPI_BLUETOOTH_MASK 		0x0008
-				SONYPI_PKEY_MASK 		0x0010
-				SONYPI_BACK_MASK 		0x0020
-				SONYPI_HELP_MASK 		0x0040
-				SONYPI_LID_MASK 		0x0080
-				SONYPI_ZOOM_MASK 		0x0100
-				SONYPI_THUMBPHRASE_MASK 	0x0200
-				SONYPI_MEYE_MASK		0x0400
-				SONYPI_MEMORYSTICK_MASK		0x0800
-				SONYPI_BATTERY_MASK		0x1000
-				SONYPI_WIRELESS_MASK		0x2000
-
-	useinput:	if set (which is the default) two input devices are
-			created, one which interprets the jogdial events as
-			mouse events, the other one which acts like a
-			keyboard reporting the pressing of the special keys.
-
-Module use:
------------
-
-In order to automatically load the sonypi module on use, you can put those
-lines in your /etc/modprobe.conf file:
-
-	alias char-major-10-250 sonypi
-	options sonypi minor=250
-
-This supposes the use of minor 250 for the sonypi device:
-
-	# mknod /dev/sonypi c 10 250
-
-Bugs:
------
-
-	- several users reported that this driver disables the BIOS-managed
-	  Fn-keys which put the laptop in sleeping state, or switch the
-	  external monitor on/off. There is no workaround yet, since this
-	  driver disables all APM management for those keys, by enabling the
-	  ACPI management (and the ACPI core stuff is not complete yet). If
-	  you have one of those laptops with working Fn keys and want to
-	  continue to use them, don't use this driver.
-
-	- some users reported that the laptop speed is lower (dhrystone
-	  tested) when using the driver with the fnkeyinit parameter. I cannot
-	  reproduce it on my laptop and not all users have this problem.
-	  This happens because the fnkeyinit parameter enables the ACPI
-	  mode (but without additional ACPI control, like processor
-	  speed handling etc). Use ACPI instead of APM if it works on your
-	  laptop.
-
-	- sonypi lacks the ability to distinguish between certain key
-	  events on some models.
-
-	- some models with the nvidia card (geforce go 6200 tc) uses a
-	  different way to adjust the backlighting of the screen. There
-	  is a userspace utility to adjust the brightness on those models,
-	  which can be downloaded from
-	  http://www.acc.umu.se/~erikw/program/smartdimmer-0.1.tar.bz2
-
-	- since all development was done by reverse engineering, there is
-	  _absolutely no guarantee_ that this driver will not crash your
-	  laptop. Permanently.
