Re: [PATCH] drm/radeon: add new AMD ACPI header and update relevant code

I admit I'm not really an ACPI expert, but thinking about this more,
I'm wondering if maybe we should just send the appropriate brightness
change, switch display, etc. event to userspace rather than handling
it directly in the radeon driver, then let userspace callback down via
the bl interface, etc.  With backlight for example, does handling it
in the kernel driver as per your patch prevent userspace from seeing
the brightness up/down event?  Wouldn't that break things like OSD
brightness displays and such?
