It would be useful to all users, not just freebsd. The problem is that it is impossible to get MB vendors to fix the dsdt when it 'works' on windows. A separate script could take a patch, dump dsdt, compare patch header against asl header (reject if for wrong system), and then compile the new dsdt. This way users wouldn't manually be mucking with acpidump/iasl. Even better, it could be done as an optional part of installkernel. -Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
