|  | The output sysfs class driver provides an abstract video output layer that | 
|  | can be used to hook platform specific methods to enable/disable video output | 
|  | device through common sysfs interface. For example, on my IBM ThinkPad T42 | 
|  | laptop, The ACPI video driver registered its output devices and read/write | 
|  | method for 'state' with output sysfs class. The user interface under sysfs is: | 
|  |  | 
|  | linux:/sys/class/video_output # tree . | 
|  | . | 
|  | |-- CRT0 | 
|  | |   |-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 | 
|  | |   |-- state | 
|  | |   |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/video_output | 
|  | |   `-- uevent | 
|  | |-- DVI0 | 
|  | |   |-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 | 
|  | |   |-- state | 
|  | |   |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/video_output | 
|  | |   `-- uevent | 
|  | |-- LCD0 | 
|  | |   |-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 | 
|  | |   |-- state | 
|  | |   |-- subsystem -> ../../../class/video_output | 
|  | |   `-- uevent | 
|  | `-- TV0 | 
|  | |-- device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0 |
