i am actually heavily using the ACPI video extension for my Thinkpad X61
Tablet. I have bound the input events triggered by the brightness
up/down keys to a simple
echo <value> > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video1/brightness
but everytime the event is triggered and acpi_video_device_lcd_set_level()
is called i got a notificication in my kernel log like:
set_level status: 0
set_level status: 0
set_level status: 0
set_level status: 0

In the past, the Linux/ACPI video driver invoked _DOS
(Display Output Switch) with the parameter 1
to tell the BIOS to switch the video output display for us.
But this conflicts with Linux native graphics drivers,
and can cause all sorts of issues, including hanging the system.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001
Here we change the Linux default to evaluate _DOS=0,
which tells the BIOS to simply send us a hotkey event
and not touch the graphics hardware.
The acpi video driver sends the display switch hotkey
event up through the intput layer, and X can interpret
that and use its native graphics driver to switch the display.
For the case where Linux has no native graphics driver running,
or the graphics driver doesn't know how to switch video and
the BIOS (safely) does, the previous behaviour can be restored with:
# echo 1 > /proc/acpi/video/*/DOS

This can only fix the problem that more than one video bus device
have the same AML name "VID".
ie. the proc I/F for the second "VID" video bus device is located under
/proc/acpi/video/VID1/...
As this is really rare and the ACPI proc I/F is a legacy feature that
we are planning to remove.
We won't provide a generic solution for this problem.

Both ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_SWITCH and ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_PROBE
are valid for video bus devices only. Actually ACPI video output
device should never be notified for a output device switch/probe.
ACPI bus devices notify handler already has the code to
handle these kinds of events.

Convert the backlight and LCD classes from struct class_device

One nasty API break is the backlight power attribute has had to be
renamed to bl_power and the LCD power attribute has had to be renamed
to lcd_power since the original names clash with the core. I can't see
a way around this.

Currently the acpi video module export the backlight interface to sysfs
also if acpi_video_device_lcd_query_levels() fails to read _BLC method
(e.g. because the method is not available). In this case the userspace
don't know which brightness level are supported and can't set a brightness
level (echo return with: "write error: Invalid Argument"). This happend
e.g. on a ASUS RF1 (correct supported by the asus-laptop module).
The video module should not export the backlight interface if query _BLC fail,
because you can't set anything from userspace and this make it useless.

Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_OUTPUT_CONTROL and CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO.
After loading output.ko and video.ko, you would have
/sys/class/video_output and several device acpi_videoNum there.
For example, I got acpi_video0, acpi_video1,acpi_video2,and acpi_video3
under /sys/class/video_output on my T40.
I can query the status of output device0 by running " cat
/sys/class/video_output/acpi_video0
" The return value is defined in ACPI SPEC B.5.5 _DCS(Return the
Status of Output Device). Also you can turn off video1 and turn on
video0 by " echo 0 > acpi_video1; echo 0x80000000 > acpi_video0".
Please reference ACPI SPEC B.5.7 _DSS for the parameter definition.
Please note that it may or may NOT works purely depending on if
your vendor providing correct ACPI video extension support in bios.
the driver output.ko and video.ko just works like a interface to
invoke BIOS.

acpi_video_get_next_level was supposed to implement an algorithm to select
a new brightness level based on the old brightness level of an ACPI video
device, but it simply says "/* Fix me */" and returns the current
brightness.
This patch implements acpi_video_get_next_level properly. It had to change
a few constants at the top of the file because they were (apparently)
wrong, but it appears to work on my Dell Inspiron e1405 (with BIOS A05
only--BIOS A04 doesn't seem to send ACPI video hotkey events).

We do this mainly because:
1. hid is used to match ACPI devices and drivers.
.match method which is incompatible to driver model
can be deleted from acpi_driver.ops then.
2. As the .uevent method mark ACPI drivers by PNPID,
fake hid is set to non-PNPID devices so that udev script
can load the right ACPI driver by looking for
"HWID = " or "COMPTID = ".

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
