I'd say it's model-specific; some manufacturers are consistent across models and some aren't. No different than chipset vendors. Does anybody know if X.org 7.x is going to start using dbus and/or hal? That would change the infrastructure need into a need for well defined messages that some external agent can respond to in a hardware-specific way.
