ACPI: the way to go



Hello,

Thanks to Martin, I have stated I should give another try to ACPI on my
laptop.

After little effort and RTFM, I did something but I am kind of blocked
now.

Here is a resume of the things I've done:

1. Download needed tools (iasl, acpidump)
2. Dump my current (broken) DSDT : acpidump -o dell.dsdt >dell.asl
3. Disassemble the resulted file: iasl -d dell.dsdt
4. Fix the dsl
5. Recompile the resulted ASL: iasl dell.dsl

and that's all for now.

Here is a brief look at my current working directory containing the
files I am working on:

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        62477 2003-08-16 00:58 dell.asl
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        12666 2003-08-16 00:58 dell.dsdt
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        90709 2003-08-16 00:58 dell.dsl
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        11864 2003-08-16 00:59 DSDT.aml

Note that the DSDT.aml is the result of the recompilation command.

So what do I have to do right now with all this stuff ??

Regards,
