So this is more like a work-around for the problem which lies elsewhere:
something is missing in acpi_video(4) or perhaps we need a (nonexistent)
acpi_dell(4)?  In this case, shouldn't it be disabled by default, or at
least be toggable since as you say, evidently just a minority of systems
exist with the same half-working ACPI?
