I understand.

I agree, which is why I thought I'd bring it up. The only *nix style
packages I'm aware of that allow DDC/CI communication are things
like DDCControl <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ddccontrol>,
and lm-sensors <http://www.lm-sensors.org/>, which both seem
independent of X11, and are therefore hard to co-ordinate with
display configuration and activity, as well as possibly not
being present on systems that X11 is installed on.
