But some remain and I would like you to take a look. I would really appreciate it if you read the full story in the Gentoo forum, because the formatting is better so you get a better insight in this matter and I already fixed many bugs but I'm not sure if my fixes are good. So If you would go to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=27 I really appreciate it. Thanks! This is what iasl now says: micmobil iasl-linux-20030918 # ./iasl -tc dsdt.dsl Intel ACPI Component Architecture ASL Optimizing Compiler / AML Disassembler version 20030918 [Sep 18 2003] Copyright (C) 2000 - 2003 Intel Corporation Supports ACPI Specification Revision 2.0b dsdt.dsl 2163: Store (Package (0x00) {}, Local0) Warning 2018 - Effective AML package length is zero ^ dsdt.dsl 2200: Store (Package (0x00) {}, Local0) Warning 2018 - Effective AML package length is zero ^ dsdt.dsl 2237: Store (Package (0x00) {}, Local0) Warning 2018 - Effective AML package length is zero ^ ASL Input: dsdt.dsl - 5121 lines, 155964 bytes, 2995 keywords AML Output: DSDT.aml - 22660 bytes 691 named objects 2304 executable opcodes Compilation complete. 0 Errors, 3 Warnings, 0 Remarks, 1133 Optimizations micmobil iasl-linux-20030918 # The interesting parts in dsdt.dsl look like this: 2159 Method (_PCL, 0, NotSerialized) 2160 { 2161 If (\_SB.C005.C013.C059.C08A ()) 2162 { 2163 Store (Package (0x00) {}, Local0) 2164 } 2165 Else 2166 { 2167 Store (Package (0x01) 2168 { 2169 \_SB 2170 }, Local0) 2171 } 2172 2173 Return (Local0) 2174 } And I don't have a clue what to do here. I tried to change 'Package (0x00)' to 'Package (0x02)' and the warnings dissappeared. But I didn't know what I was really doing so I reversed my changes. Another one is this: dsdt.dsl 735: Return (^C08E (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2)) Error 1029 - ^ Called method returns no value I read something about about "Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00})" and thought "Hey, I gotta have one of these" Code: Method (C08E, 3, NotSerialized) { Acquire (^C082, 0xFFFF) Acquire (\_GL, 0xFFFF) ^C08B () Store (0x07, C05B) Store (Arg0, C05C) Store (Arg1, C05B) Store (Arg2, C05C) ^C08C () Release (\_GL) Release (^C082) } Method (C08F, 2, NotSerialized) { Return (^C08D (Arg0, Arg1)) } Method (C090, 3, NotSerialized) { Return (^C08E (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2)) } changed to Code: Method (C08E, 3, NotSerialized) { Acquire (^C082, 0xFFFF) Acquire (\_GL, 0xFFFF) ^C08B () Store (0x07, C05B) Store (Arg0, C05C) Store (Arg1, C05B) Store (Arg2, C05C) ^C08C () Release (\_GL) Release (^C082) Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00}) } Method (C08F, 2, NotSerialized) { Return (^C08D (Arg0, Arg1)) } Method (C090, 3, NotSerialized) { Return (^C08E (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2)) } But the writer of the dsdt HowTo at Gentoos forum said this may be not a good fix. What do you think?
