Maybe the hardware guys only had limited time to provide a hacked up version, and their driver writers provide a patched one later. I've tried some googling, but found no hits thus far. Anyone know if it's possible to pull the active DSDT from a running Windows XP session? If it's possible, I might be willing to put Windows back on my laptop (which I'm proud to say is single-boot Linux) just to grab it and see. I doubt I'm the first one to think of this, so if there's info about this being attempted before, let me know.
