Description Len Brown 2004-01-23 14:30:40 UTC

Systems containing a built-in display adapter are requred to implement the ACPI Extensions for 
Display Adapters. -- ACPI Spec 2.0c appendix B. 
 
These extensions involved brightness control, device switching, and power state support. 
 
Currently, some of these features are implemented in the asus_extras and toshiba_extras 
drivers.  A generic drivers/acpi/video.c driver should be created to support these features on all 
vendors platforms.  When it is available, that functionality should be removed from the asus and 
toshiba specific drivers.
