You can use the -r flag for acpidump to decode Buffers as ResourceTemplate()s: -r Additionally outputs commented ResourceTemplate() macros for Buffer objects that contain valid resource streams. These macros are defined in the ACPI 2.0 specification section 16.2.4. Since moving to iasl as the acpidump backend in FreeBSD, we've lost this capability. I'd love it if iasl would grow a flag to have this behavior. You could restrict it to only outputing the macros if the Buffer starts with a valid resource. -Nate ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
