Hello,

Thank you for responding. I've added the acpidmp output to the bug, and
tried to write a comment to it as well. In short, by echoing 0x11 to
/proc/acpi/debug_level I can trace the ACPI events for the video functions.

If here's anything else I can offer, please let me know. I'm interested in
getting this supported.

Wayne
