Before this commit when we want userspace to use the acpi_video backlight
device we register both the GPU's native backlight device and acpi_video's
firmware acpi_video# backlight device. This relies on userspace preferring
firmware type backlight devices over native ones.
Registering 2 backlight devices for a single display really is
undesirable, don't register the GPU's native backlight device when
another backlight device should be used.

Choose this option if you have an ATI Radeon graphics card. There
are both PCI and AGP versions. You don't need to choose this to
