    ddccontrol is not limited to graphical mode, it's supposed to work in 
text mode too, so no X stuff is used at all. Xorg guys has it's own access 
to i2c for sure, so they of course could provide a way to ddccontrol to 
access this bus or intergate some part of ddccontrol.

    Keep in mind that project is now mostly dead for several years now...

Oleg.
