ACPI_VIDEO(4)	       FreeBSD Kernel Interfaces Manual		 ACPI_VIDEO(4)

NAME
     acpi_video	-- ACPI	Video Extensions driver

SYNOPSIS
     device acpi_video

DESCRIPTION
     This driver uses the ACPI Video Extensions	to control display switching
     and backlight brightness.	The availability of the	sysctl(8) variables
     depends on	the functions offered by the host's ACPI implementation.

SYSCTLS
     The following sysctls are currently implemented, where <device> is	crt,
     lcd, or tv:

     hw.acpi.video.<device>.active
	     Current state of the device.

     hw.acpi.video.<device>.levels
	     List of supported brightness levels.

     hw.acpi.video.<device>.brightness
	     Current brightness	level of the device.

     hw.acpi.video.<device>.fullpower
	     Preset brightness level to	be used	in full	power mode.

     hw.acpi.video.<device>.economy
	     Preset brightness level to	be used	in economy mode.

     Defaults for these	variables can be set in	sysctl.conf(5),	which is
     parsed at boot-time.
