Help text

This driver provides support for the Apple System Management Controller, which provides an accelerometer (Apple Sudden Motion Sensor), light sensors, temperature sensors, keyboard backlight control and fan control.

Only Intel-based Apple's computers are supported (MacBook Pro, MacBook, MacMini).

Data from the different sensors, keyboard backlight control and fan control are accessible via sysfs.

This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.

Say Y here if you have an applicable laptop and want to experience the awesome power of applesmc.
