DSDT discussion

I installed the program and run the commands you stated. This is the result.

I have pretty much no idea what all this is for...

Re: DSDT discussion

Its for "fixing" the ACPI table so it works properly in linux. Windows just works around ACPI bugs. Something didn't compile right, look at the documentation for iasl and see if the errors actually make a difference.

Re: DSDT discussion

Can you upload the DSL file, so I can compare the fixes 67GTA did with what was there originally and then inform you of it. As well, can you tell me of a good free text editor like Kate for Windows that will show me line numbers? Wordpad isn't doing it.

Re: DSDT discussion

There are many but I would use Notepad++

I'll get that file uploaded soon

OK here's the file (inside zip archive so it could be uploaded)
