I've updated the DSDT files on my web server concerning the maximum and last known capacity of the battery: Both are now set to the default value of 4000 mAh, so there's no longer a need for you to change anything. > - Compile your DSDT with Intel's ASL compiler into a c source code file > and copy it to kernel-src-dir/drivers/acpi/tables/acpi_dsdt.c. You can now skip this part and directly use http://www.ettelbrueck.de/linux-acpi/compaq-evo-n160/acpi_dsdt.c > - [Don't know by heart if this is needed with current acpi patches] > Apply a patch to your kernel that makes it use your DSDT. I found the patch I used to make my kernel use my fixed DSDT. You can download it from http://www.ettelbrueck.de/linux-acpi/compaq-evo-n160/acpi_use_own_dsdt-2.4.20.diff > - Compile your kernel once again. > - Boot it... These two steps are obviously still needed ;-) Kind regards Heiko ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
