✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

That's the whole configuration vibe — acpivout* attaches at acpivideo?. Short, sweet, iconic. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the acpivout driver is the one that supports brightness adjustment. That's its whole thing. Its moment. Its main character energy. 💡

And the way it lets you adjust that brightness? Two ways, bestie:

• using a brightness hotkey — you know, the lil sun keys on your keyboard 🌞
• or using the wsconsctl(8) variable display.brightness — very demure, very command-line 💅

Either way, brightness goes up, brightness goes down. Slay.
