The Lenovo Yoga Book 9 14IAH10 ships with a detachable Bluetooth keyboard
that magnetically attaches to the bottom (secondary) screen in one of two
positions. The Embedded Controller tracks the attachment state in a 2-bit
field called BKBD and signals changes via WMI event GUID
806BD2A2-177B-481D-BFB5-3BA0BB4A2285 (notify ID 0xEB on the WM10 ACPI
device).
The current BKBD state is read via WMI query GUID
E7F300FA-21CD-4003-ADAC-2696135982E6 (WQAF method), which returns an
8-byte buffer: bytes [0..3] hold the LFID constant 0x00060000 and bytes
[4..7] hold the BKBD value.
BKBD encoding:
0 = keyboard detached
1 = keyboard docked on top half of bottom screen
2 = keyboard docked on bottom half of bottom screen
3 = reserved (not observed in practice)
This driver:
- Registers as a WMI driver on the event GUID.
- Queries BKBD state on probe and on each WMI notification.
- Reports SW_TABLET_MODE=1 when detached, SW_TABLET_MODE=0 when docked
in either position (a physical keyboard is present in both cases).
- Exposes the raw BKBD value via a read-only sysfs attribute
"keyboard_position" for use by userspace (e.g. to distinguish between
the two docked positions for different UI layouts).
Tested on: Lenovo Yoga Book 9 14IAH10 (model 83KJ), kernel 6.19.

+What: /sys/bus/wmi/drivers/lenovo-yb9-kbdock/<guid>/keyboard_position
+Date: April 2026
+KernelVersion: 6.10
+Contact: Dave Carey <carvsdriver@gmail.com>
+Description:
+ Read-only attribute reporting the current keyboard dock position
+ as reported by the Embedded Controller on the Lenovo Yoga Book 9
+ 14IAH10.
+
+ Possible values:
+
+ == ============================================================
+ 0 detached — keyboard is not docked to any screen
+ 1 top-half — keyboard docked on the top half of the bottom screen
+ 2 bottom-half — keyboard docked on the bottom half of the bottom screen
+ == ============================================================
+
+ The value is formatted as "<n> (<name>)\n", e.g. "1 (top-half)\n".
+
+ SW_TABLET_MODE input events are also emitted: 0 when the keyboard
+ is docked (either position), 1 when detached.
