>Description:

Support for my ASUS A4D. I couldn't find right parameters for video output.
Other come from debugged ACPI (with reporting turned on). At current stage,
I have no problems with either brightness increasing/descreasing, (using
Fn+(F5,F6) makes needed changes to hw.acpi.asus.lcd_brightness), or turning
message LED on/off.

After uncommenting these two, currently commented lines (values fetch from
output of ACPI debugging together with recognizing function of the key with
help of it's icon), I have expirienced following problems: loading kernel
module or traversing sysctl(9) tree disables LCD display, and turning its on
means hitting keys mentioned above several times. Also video_output just
after module loading seems a little bit odd:

root@laptop:(/usr/src/sys/modules/acpi/acpi_asus)# sysctl hw.acpi.asus
hw.acpi.asus.lcd_brightness: 15
hw.acpi.asus.video_output: 52

Switching from 0 to 7 give me nothing.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

My proposal is to leave these lines commented and wait for someone with
enough time to play with it. Unfortunately, I have to give my laptop back.
If I have some possibility, I'll try to make further investigation.
