Re: Asus K8V Delux broken acpi tables?

I think I updated my bios a month or two ago.  I'm not quite sure how to 
recompile my DSDT.  I thought I needed to use iasl to decompile the 
existing DSDT from acpidump, then apply your patch, then recompile.  I 
seem to be missing something though, iasl -d doesn't seem to like my 
acpidump.log. 

Also getting iasl compiled was kind of a pain, the code is a bit 
borked.  First I had to add the -l flag to flex so that unput() could be 
used correctly, then the code was declaring a variable in one place as a 
char [] and in another as a char *, so I had to fix that to get it to 
compile.  Even then it had a bunch of warnings because of incorrect 
casts due to assumptions about being on a 32bit architecture ( I'm 
running 64 bit ).
