I tested your patch and the only effect is that my three reported
screens (I'm on a laptop) changed from "crt" to "out" (I understand
why, from the code):

hw.acpi.video.out0.active: 1
hw.acpi.video.out1.active: 1
hw.acpi.video.out1.brightness: 100
hw.acpi.video.out1.fullpower: 100
hw.acpi.video.out1.economy: 50
hw.acpi.video.out1.levels: 100 50 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
hw.acpi.video.out2.active: 1

Is there something I can do to help you make them recognised
correctly, or is it fault of a buggy ACPI table?
