- * There a Linux specific (Spec does not provide a HID for video devices) is
- * assigned
- *
  * After PCI devices are glued with ACPI devices
  * acpi_get_pci_dev() can be called to identify ACPI graphics
  * devices for which a real graphics card is plugged in
  *
- * Now acpi_video_get_capabilities() can be called to check which
- * capabilities the graphics cards plugged in support. The check for general
- * video capabilities will be triggered by the first caller of
- * acpi_video_get_capabilities(NULL); which will happen when the first
- * backlight switching supporting driver calls:
- * acpi_video_backlight_support();
- *
  * Depending on whether ACPI graphics extensions (cmp. ACPI spec Appendix B)
  * are available, video.ko should be used to handle the device.
  *
  * Otherwise vendor specific drivers like thinkpad_acpi, asus-laptop,
  * sony_acpi,... can take care about backlight brightness.
  *
- * If CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO is neither set as "compiled in" (y) nor as a module (m)
- * this file will not be compiled, acpi_video_get_capabilities() and
- * acpi_video_backlight_support() will always return 0 and vendor specific
- * drivers always can handle backlight.
+ * Backlight drivers can use acpi_video_get_backlight_type() to determine
+ * which driver should handle the backlight.
