=============================

Hotkeys
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The following FN keys are ignored by the kernel without this driver:
|
||||
- FN-F1 (LG control panel) - Generates F15
|
||||
- FN-F5 (Touchpad toggle) - Generates F13
|
||||
- FN-F6 (Airplane mode) - Generates RFKILL
|
||||
- FN-F8 (Keyboard backlight) - Generates F16.
|
||||
This key also changes keyboard backlight mode.
|
||||
- FN-F9 (Reader mode) - Generates F14
|
||||
|
||||
The rest of the FN key work without a need for a special driver.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Reader mode
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing 0/1 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/reader_mode disables/enables
|
||||
reader mode. In this mode the screen colors change (blue color reduced),
|
||||
and the reader mode indicator LED (on F9 key) turns on.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
FN Lock
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing 0/1 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fn_lock disables/enables
|
||||
FN lock.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Battery care limit
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing 80/100 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/battery_care_limit
|
||||
sets the maximum capacity to charge the battery. Limiting the charge
|
||||
reduces battery capacity loss over time.
|
||||
|
||||
This value is reset to 100 when the kernel boots.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Fan mode
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing 1/0 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/fan_mode disables/enables
|
||||
the fan silent mode.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
USB charge
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing 0/1 to /sys/devices/platform/lg-laptop/usb_charge disables/enables
|
||||
charging another device from the USB port while the device is turned off.
|
||||
|
||||
This value is reset to 0 when the kernel boots.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
LEDs
|
||||
~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The are two LED devices supported by the driver:
|
||||
|
||||
Keyboard backlight
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A led device named kbd_led controls the keyboard backlight. There are three
|
||||
lighting level: off (0), low (127) and high (255).
|
||||
|
||||
The keyboard backlight is also controlled by the key combination FN-F8
|
||||
which cycles through those levels.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Touchpad indicator LED
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
On the F5 key. Controlled by led device names tpad_led.
