I expect this one has to be reverted.
I can double check tomorrow, but I am pretty sure I have a Compaq and
also saw more and I expect there are a lot more that work pretty fine
with Display Output Switching (_DOS) set to be handled by BIOS and not
graphics driver.

As said, I can double check, but this would be a regression.

IMO the logic should be:
  - Let the BIOS handle the switching (also works without X)
  - If a graphics driver gets active which can do the switching, it can
    take over control by:
    echo 0 >/proc/acpi/video/*/DOS
