ls /proc/acpi/video/
shows two identically named directories "VGA" - is this normal??

Anyway,

# cat VGA/DOS
DOS setting: <1>

# echo 3 > VGA/DOS
# cat VGA/DOS
DOS setting: <3>

but no image on external.  Now

# rmmod video
# echo 3 > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/display

Got image on external

# modprobe video
# cat VGA/DOS
DOS setting: <0>

I can write 1 or 3 to DOS and read it back, but it has no effect (image on 
external turned on while video module was removed does not go away).

Please Cc: me on replies - forgot to mention this in the initial posting.

Thanks!
Andrei
