can i try a merge of two dsdt?

can i try a merge of two dsdt?

[Alessandro]

hi, 
i have a problem (a problem? many problems.. =\) with my acer aspire
1703SM on freeBSD with ACPI.
If I don't overwrite the DSDT with the one i found for acer aspire
1703SC i get the floppy and the temperature indicator to work but the
batery status is always at zero. 
If I overwrite my real DSDT whit the DSDT for aspire 1703SC I found that
the batery method work properly.. but the system cannot recognize the
floppy and the temperature indicator is always at 0.0°C. 
My idea is: can i merge my DSDT and the aspire 1703SC DSDT and then
recompile the resultant DSDT?
If it is possible.. where can i get more documentation about it?

thankyou all.
Ale.

yes, it should be possible.

take a look at http://acpi.sf.net/dsdt/index.php

and tell me which links are missing. :)

You could probably compare the _BST methods for the two and merge the one
in the working DSDT into your stock DSDT.  If that works for you, send me
a diff because I'm curious what the error is in your stock DSDT.  (Perhaps
it can be worked around.)
