Functionality is basic and provided through the .Xr sysctl 8 interface. .Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES The following .Xr sysctl 8 variables are available: .Bl -tag -width "dev.isl.X.resolution" .It Va dev.isl.X.als Current ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) readout. .It Va dev.isl.X.ir Current IR (InfraRed) sensor readout. .It Va dev.isl.X.prox Current proximity sensor readout. .It Va dev.isl.X.resolution Current sensor resolution. .It Va dev.isl.X.range Current sensor range. .El .Sh EXAMPLES .Ss Ambient light sensor read out .Bd -literal $ sysctl dev.isl.0.als dev.isl.0.als: 64 .Ed .Ss Automatically adjust brightness This requires the port .Pa graphics/intel-backlight and only works with laptops using a supported Intel(R) GPU. .Bd -literal $ pkg install intel-backlight $ sh /usr/local/share/examples/intel-backlight/isl_backlight.sh .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ig4 4 , .Xr smbus 4 .Sh AUTHORS .An -nosplit The .Nm driver was written by .An Michael Gmelin Aq Mt freebsd@grem.de . .Pp This manual page was written by .An Michael Gmelin Aq Mt freebsd@grem.de . .Sh BUGS The .Nm driver detects the device based on its I2C address (0x44). This might have unforeseen consequences if the initialization sequence is sent to an unknown device at that address.
