Hiw is disp coded, i.e. which value activates/deactivates which "head"?
I suspect that it is binary and that bit-0 is the LCD, correct?
What are the others?
Which is the highest bit?

I ask because it should be quite easy to fix the hotkey problem by
simply adding a acpid script for it, simply counting up and flipping
back to bit-0. The hotkey event seems to be ATKD 00000061.

Does not apply to the version in last ACPI patch (030619); but doesn't
matter since one can use the complete source from sf.net anyway.

Many many thanks to you and the others to make this working!
