66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67.Nx
68provides machine-independent bus support for
69.Tn ACPI
70devices and includes several
71.Tn ACPI
72device drivers.
73.Pp
74The
75.Nx
76implementation of
77.Tn ACPI
78integrates Intel's ACPI Component Architecture
79(aka ACPI-CA) for the OS-independent part.
80The ACPI-CA provides
81OS-neutral ACPI functionalities such as ACPI BIOS table support,
82an ACPI event framework and an AML (ACPI Machine Language) interpreter.
83.Pp
84Options:
85.Bl -tag -width ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV -offset 3n
86.It Nm ACPI_DEBUG
87Enable ACPI debugging message outputs.
88.It Nm ACPI_PCI_FIXUP
89Enable ACPI-based PCI interrupt routing fixup.
90If you have PCI interrupt related problem, try this option.
91.It Nm ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV
92Determine if the ACPI driver should attempt to activate
93inactive devices.
94The default is off.
95.It Nm ACPICA_PEDANTIC
96Force strict conformance to the ACPI specification in the
97ACPI-CA.
98Do not enable this option unless you are debugging.
