Hi!

In English this would be something like:

This is the answer that I got when I asked them to provide a fixed DSDT. So
I don't think they will fix it even if we mail the fixed version to them.

The corrected DSDT still lacks some funtionality, e.g. it is not properly
handled when the AC Adaptor is connected - KLaptop still shows "running on
batteries", 0:00 left but the battery status is increasing.

So before mailing to Asus we should wait until everything is working IMO.

Regards
Philipp
