Yes, but you depend on the wmidump userspace stuff and manually copying parts of the DSDT, etc. > If you really want it, then I don't mind, it just seems redundant... All the code of wmidump is included wmi.c now. Only dumping this info is missing, which is really useful if you are not aware of the wmidump tool (and even then it's still convenient to have) and overhead is negligible. Yep, I really like to see this. Thanks, Thomas
