Patching 2.6.9 for custom DSDT

Patching 2.6.9 for custom DSDT

[Patrick Ale]

Good morning all!

I'd like to try the custom Acer Aspire 1703 DSDT found on the acpi.sf.net site.

in drivers/acpi/osl.c I see the folloiwing

#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT
#include CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
#endif


Does this mean I can add the following to the top of the c file?

#define CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE "/path/to/dsdt.file"
#define CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT

Or do I need the kernel patch mentioned on
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/HowToOverrideTable

In the later case I have a problem since I get the following error
when applying the patch:
juliana:/usr/src/linux-2.6.9# patch -p1 -i ../osl.diff
patching file drivers/acpi/osl.c
patch: **** malformed patch at line 21: }


Thanks in advance for the replies :D

Patrick

no, you should configure
	make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]

your kernel to use a custom DSDT. The voice is

 - Power management otions (ACPI, APM)
   - ACPI ([...])
     - Include Custom DSDT
       - Custom DSDT Table file to include
         /path/to/dsdt.file

NB, the DSDT should be in the AmlCode declaration.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca

You can do that (thats what I do).

I think though that there should be a menu item in make config if this is 
already in the source.

You don't need to patch it since 2.6.9 include this patch.
You are supposed to set your dsdt path in make menuconfig.

Thanks,

Couldn't find it until I looked into the Kconfig file. I have to admit I 
didn't expect it to depend on standalone.
