+ Video Output Switcher Control
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ 2006 luming.yu@xxxxxxxxx
+
+The output sysfs class driver is to provide video output abstract 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
+aptop, 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 .
