6 The output sysfs class driver provides an abstract video output layer that
7 can be used to hook platform specific methods to enable/disable video output
8 device through common sysfs interface. For example, on my IBM ThinkPad T42
9 laptop, The ACPI video driver registered its output devices and read/write
10 method for 'state' with output sysfs class. The user interface under sysfs is:
