HOWTO dump a DSDT

HOWTO dump a DSDT

Hello,

as I have to modify my ASUS M6800N DSDT in order to have support for
battery and other things, I started to work with 'iasl-20030918' from
Intel site.

On the other hand:

- - on the DSDT-HOWTO linked from ACPI site
	http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html
it is suggested to use 'acpidump' (which doesn't compile on my box).

- - on the ACPI site's first page there's a link to 'acpidmp', which can
grab DSDT, and the DSDT dumped with 'acpidmp' is the same as the DSDT
copied via 'cat /proc/acpi/dsdt'

My question: which tool should I use to dump my DSDT? And then to
disassemble it?

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

I've been able to successfully use:
	# cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > my_dsdt
	# iasl -d my_dsdt

acpidump has some usefull features, but if simply what
the raw dsdt, 'cat' works just as well.
