Move man pages out of man4.i386. Most of them are applicable to amd64
too, so, instead of descending to the i386 directory, we add some magic to the parent Makefile. These man pages refer to drivers that I'm aware that work on amd64. Most likely there are more, but I'll deal with them later. Approved by: brueffer, philip, takawata

+.Sh NAME
+.Nm acpi_asus
+.Nd Asus Laptop Extras
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+To compile this driver into the kernel,
+place the following line in your
+kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -ragged -offset indent
+.Cd "device acpi_asus"
+.Ed
+.Pp
+Alternatively, to load the driver as a
+module at boot time, place the following line in
+.Xr loader.conf 5 :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+acpi_asus_load="YES"
+.Ed
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for the extra ACPI-controlled gadgets, such as hotkeys
+and leds, found on recent Asus (and Medion) laptops.
+It allows one to use the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+interface to manipulate the brightness of the LCD panel and the display output
+state.
+Hotkey events are passed to
+.Xr devd 8
+for easy handling in userspace.
+.Pp
+Currently, the following Asus laptops are fully supported:

+Additionally,
+.Nm
+also supports the Asus-compatible
+.Em ATK0100
+interface found in
+.Em Samsung P30/P35
+laptops.
+.Sh SYSCTL VARIABLES
+The following sysctls are currently implemented:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Va hw.acpi.asus.lcd_brightness
+Makes the LCD backlight brighter or dimmer (higher values are brighter).
+.It Va hw.acpi.asus.lcd_backlight
+Turns the LCD backlight on or off.
+.It Va hw.acpi.asus.video_output
+Sets the active display to use according to a bitwise OR of the following:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width indent -compact
+.It Li 0
+No display
+.It Li 1
+LCD
+.It Li 2
+CRT
+.It Li 4
+TV-Out
+.El
+.Pp
+Some models also support video switching via the generic
+.Xr acpi_video 4
+driver.
+Most models do not, however.
+.El
+.Pp
+Defaults for these variables can be set in
+.Xr sysctl.conf 5 ,
+which is parsed at boot-time.

+driver and this manual page were written by
+.An Philip Paeps Aq philip@FreeBSD.org .
+.Pp
+Inspiration came from the
+.Em acpi4asus project
+started by
+.An Julien Lerouge
+which maintains a driver implementing this
+functionality in the
+.Tn Linux
+kernel.
