62.Sh DESCRIPTION
63.Nx
64provides machine-independent bus support for
65.Tn ACPI
66devices and includes several
67.Tn ACPI
68device drivers.
69.Pp
70The
71.Nx
72implementation of
73.Tn ACPI
74integrates Intel's ACPI Component Architecture
75(aka ACPI-CA) for the OS-independent part.
76The ACPI-CA provides
77OS-neutral ACPI functionalities such as ACPI BIOS table support,
78an ACPI event framework and an AML (ACPI Machine Language) interpreter.
79.Pp
80Options:
81.Bl -tag -width ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV -offset 3n
82.It Nm ACPI_DEBUG
83Enable ACPI debugging message outputs.
84.It Nm ACPI_PCI_FIXUP
85Enable ACPI-based PCI interrupt routing fixup.
86If you have PCI interrupt related problem, try this option.
87.It Nm ACPI_ACTIVATE_DEV
88Determine if the ACPI driver should attempt to activate
89inactive devices.
90The default is off.
91.It Nm ACPICA_PEDANTIC
92Force strict conformance to the ACPI specification in the
93ACPI-CA.
94Do not enable this option unless you are debugging.
