Video Output Switcher Control¶

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 .
