Hello; I modified dsdt because iasl was complaining, As a result like
what you said
"then it's unlikely that there's any functional difference as a
result" is probably
what I'm seeing. As for a bug report I already have one filed. As to
why I'm messing with
the dsdt, just trying to isolate the problem with the bug I have
already filed., or at least
get a better idea of what is happening. Anyways thanks for the info.
