+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 laptop, 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 .
