As far as I know, there is no standard functionality in 2.6.10 that allows custom DSDTs. So you must be using a kernel that has been enhanced/patched by Mandrake. But there's no reason why the kernel option won't work. So try it out; if it doesn't work, then you can try the instructions in the README file. cheers, Rich ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
