Install pmtools (for iasl - the acpi compiler) and grab ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/jeffm/acpi/Acer_Ferrari_4000.DSDT.asl You'll need to enable ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT to do use it, or if you're on a SUSE system (sorry, I don't know if/which other systems support this), you can enable a new DSDT by including it in the init{rd,ramfs}. (See the -a option to mkinitrd) The attached script will turn your AML file into a character array for use with ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT. There are other issues that need to be worked out in the DSDT, and since I'm not an ACPI guru (or even anything beyond a casual observer), this may take some time. Specifically, I get this ... nsxfeval-0251 [06] acpi_evaluate_object : Handle is NULL and Pathname is relative ... for several paths, which a bit of debugging tells me is _PR[0-3] from the root node. Unfortunately, there is no instance of _PR[0-3] in the DSDT asl file. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SuSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDAzmpLPWxlyuTD7IRAhupAJ9rAXNZAX3tzHxCzwYuPUE1LO/ivwCghvTT 8uaZtso9gnu9FGk8Imjk94k= =Iesw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------040708060704060802030604 Content-Type: application/x-perl; name="file2string.pl" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline; filename="file2string.pl" #!/usr/bin/perl my $i = 0; my $vname = "file2string"; $vname = $ARGV[0] if ($#ARGV >= 0); print "const char $vname" .
