Subject: ACPI Video wierdness

Hi,

I was looking around /proc/acpi on my system the other day, purely out of
curiosity, when I noticed something rather odd. Inside /proc/acpi/video,
there are two VID entries, both with the same inode.

I guess these are the relevant lines from my dmesg:

[  134.199530] ACPI: Video Device [VID] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)
[  134.199927] ACPI: Video Device [VID] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)
[  134.199986] ACPI: Video Device [VID2] (multi-head: yes  rom: no  post: no)

I'm currently running 2.6.18-rc6, but have verified that it happens as far
back as 2.6.13.2. I've attached the full dmesg, along with a copy of my
systems (Dell Inspiron 6000) dsdt. Please let me know if there's anything
else you need.

Please cc me on any replies, as i'm not subscribed to either list. Thanks.
