Re: Re: ACER Aspire 5000 <- Will these bios bugs ever be fixed?

[Hans Kristian Rosbach <hk-lnVXpwuIOH4XWF+eFR7m5Q@public.gmane.org>]

Patching the dsdt.dsl isn't exactly for the faint at heart,
so I am wondering wether this will be possible to work around
automagicly for known problems on specific models?

I did contact Acer and ask them to just apply some easy fixes
for the Ferrari 4005 battery detection. The reply I got was
very surprising. Basicly she told me they don't want my
business if I use anything other than windows.

I'll probably try again at some later point if this is going
to be a problem for long. It seems that they think it's not
worth while to support Linux users at all.

And since windows somehow doesn't have the same problem it's
unlikely to ever be fixed even though it is an actual bug in
their bios implementation.
