sysctl(8) variables
      depends on the functions offered by the host’s ACPI implementation.
      The following sysctls are currently implemented, where 〈device〉 is crt,
      lcd, or tv:
 
      hw.acpi.video.〈device〉.active
              Current state of the output 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.

AUTHORS

      The acpi_video driver was written by Taku YAMAMOTO

BUGS

      Some systems only perform output switching via SMM even though they
      export the proper information via ACPI.  On such systems, the proper
acpi_toshiba(4)) must be used
      instead.
