Mmm. It seems acpi_video_bus_check() is static and therefore not available outside of video.c > BTW. I'm curious what you are trying to do. > There is actually quite a bit of movement in this code right now. Think about fbdev drivers (or some video driver).... Rather than bang on the hardware to try and do auto-detection of devices, it's much easier (and sometimes required) to just ask the system BIOS via ACPI to see what devices are available. I want to parse _DOD myself to see what's available in kernel space. What else can I use ?
