Re: Dell DSDT patch request

Kevin,

I have applied the dsdt and followed the 
http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html instructions.  It looks like the 
recent updates have moved the structure name has been moved from a 
structure tag (if my C terminology is correct), so you must replace 
'acpi_table_header' with 'struct  acpi_table_header' and it will compile 
cleanly.

Markus,

It works great, Thermal Zone and Battery works fine.  There seems to be 
a *MAJOR* performance issues reading battery status.

Regards,

Matthew
