sending ACPI commands directly

Hi,

@Mark: has the team replied anything?

@Marco: `proptest` on my system did not return any property related to privacy 
screen, is this normal? (I ran `proptest | grep -i privacy`, which returned 
empty result.)

Thanks,

Hi,

Not sure if something changed or it is different in newer models, but
the privacy screen feature so far has been exposed as a KMS property you
can inspect and set with tools like proptest (in libdrm-tests package
for what concerns ubuntu)

Cheers
