+devices via the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+interface.
+.Pp
+The following
+.Xr sysctl 8
+variables are available:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width "hw.sony0.brt [R/W]" -compact
+.It Em hw.sony0.brt [R/W]
+Controls current LCD brightness. Range [0-8].
+.It Em hw.sony0.pbr [R/W]
+Controls power on LCD brightness. Range [0-8].
+.It Em hw.sony0.cdp [R/W]
+Controls CD power.
+.It Em hw.sony0.pid [R/O]
+Unknown
+.It Em hw.sony0.ctr [R/W]
+Unknown
+.It Em hw.sony0.pcr [R/W]

+.It Em hw.sony0.ams [R/W]
+Audio control (mute when 0)
+.It Em hw.sony0.hke [R/O]

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver
+appeared in
+.Nx 4.0 .
+.Sh AUTHORS
+Sami Kantoluoto for the original driver and manual information.
+Christos Zoulas for cleaning up the driver and this manual page.
+.Sh BUGS
+.Bl -bullet
+.It
+The
+.Nm
+driver just parses integer values from the
+.Xr acpi 4
+tree.
+It could be more intelligent and parse other controls.
+.It
+The
+.Xr sysctl 8
+interface is not great.
+The names of the
+.Xr sysctl 8
+tree are not self-explanatory.
+.It
+No validity checks are performed in the user input.
+Playing with random values and/or unknown controls can harm your machine.
+.It
+The 
+.Nm
+of the driver is too generic.
