I am wondering if the _PCT table (from ACPI) are correct or not.
Could you send me a DSDT table, please?  For this, you have to
retrieve pmtools from intel site (this should be the latest link):

http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm


then go to pmtools-20010730/acpidmp/
make
./acpidmp DSDT > dsdt
gzip dsdt

then send me *privately* the dsdt.gz file.

I will then look if, at least, ACER guy give correct _PCT table.
