Thank you Andrew but I'm a newbie in the ACPI world so I don't know how to 
correct it. Have you any suggestions?

Thank you,
Gaetano

Having just purchased a laptop (Astone Z7, which appears to be a
rebranded ASUS M6N), I am also feeling my way through the wonderful
world of ACPI.

There are some excellent resources for patching broken DSDTs, most of
which are linked to from (or present on) acpi.sf.net 

Don't forget to check out
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145

These guides can help normal users fix common breakages in DSDTs, but
for more serious problems (eg. my laptop's DSDT, which has over 200
errors) you will need time and patience. I am currently learning ASL
from the official ACPI spec (http://www.acpi.info/spec.htm) so I can fix
my DSDT. Hopefully, yours won't be as bad as mine :-)

Good luck!

Andrew
