+		Video Output Switcher Control
+		~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+		2006 [email protected]
+
+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 .
