Add the
acpi_call
1 kernel module to theextra/
stream.Note about the current build failure: This PR is written as-if the COPR build for
acpi_call-kmod
andacpi_call-kmod-common
had already been set up at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ublue-os/akmods/ - preferably sourced from github.com/nix-community/acpi_call once nix-community/acpi_call#28 has been merged2.Until that PR has been merged, an example COPR build of
acpi_call-kmod
andacpi_call-kmod-common
can be found at https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/cr7pt0gr4ph7/acpi_call/, currently using my ownacpi_call
repository fork, and example image builds can be found at https://github.com/cr7pt0gr4ph7/akmods/actions.Footnotes
The
acpi_call
module allows one to manually issue ACPI method calls, which is useful to advanced users for disabling discrete Nvidia graphics cards on older laptops with hybrid Intel+Nvidia graphics where no option for this is available in the BIOS, as well as for interacting e.g. with Firmware-based fan control when no specific driver is available. ↩As it appears, the people from the NixOS community now seem to be the de-facto maintainers of the
acpi_call
module. ↩
