Patch to fix this Re: Dell/acpi_video hw.acpi.video.out0 is probably a bug, and an important one. Re: Dell laptops

You are somewhat right, but your patch is wrong.  Actually you have
to check if ((adr & 0x0400) == 0x0400).  In fact, acpi_video.c is
correct for ACPI spec2, but ACPI spec3 have changed in that regard, and
only the value 0x110 (LCD internal panel) should be kept for
backward compatility.

Please look at the two specifications (v2.0c and v3) at the ACPI
info website: http://www.acpi.info for more.

I would suggest something like that (not even compile tested):
