Chris Howells <howells@kde.org>

About
-----

This KMilo module, in conjunction with the Asus asus_acpi Linux kernel
module, allows some of the special keys on the keyboard of an Asus laptop to
be fully utilised.

The asus_acpi kernel modules exports a control and monitoring interface
using the Linux kernel's /proc psuedo file system.

/proc/acpi/asus/lcd - Sets/gets whether the LCD is on or off
Values of 0 or 1

/proc/acpi/asus/disp - Sets/gets whether the LCD/VGA/TV out is used
