+What:		/sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/bl_power
+Date:		April 2005

+
+		 - FB_BLANK_UNBLANK (0)   : power on.
+		 - FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN (4) : power off

+Description:
+		Control the brightness for this <backlight>. Values
+		are between 0 and max_brightness. This file will also
+		show the brightness level stored in the driver, which
+		may not be the actual brightness (see actual_brightness).

+KernelVersion:	2.6.37
+Contact:	Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
+Description:
+		The type of interface controlled by <backlight>.
+		"firmware": The driver uses a standard firmware interface
+		"platform": The driver uses a platform-specific interface
+		"raw": The driver controls hardware registers directly
+
+		In the general case, when multiple backlight
+		interfaces are available for a single device, firmware
+		control should be preferred to platform control should
+		be preferred to raw control. Using a firmware
+		interface reduces the probability of confusion with
+		the hardware and the OS independently updating the
+		backlight state. Platform interfaces are mostly a
+		holdover from pre-standardisation of firmware
+		interfaces.
