Hi all, Some laptop or motherboard (Like Asus A8N-VM CSM) have bad ACPI DSDT in their ROM. The inclusion of this patch will allow users to fix themselve the DSDT table. Patch can be downloaded from: http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml How-to use was posted in the forum: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-122145-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-225.html?sid=59a72bc68081422619197686974f39d8 I hope this patch can be included, so users don't have to appli it manually after each upgrade of their kernel. ----------------- Portage 2.0.54 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.15-ge ntoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X1 1/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo ftp://ftp.eas ynet.nl/mirror/gentoo http://gentoo.mirror.sdv.fr http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X acl alsa avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 crypt cups curl eds emboss e ncode expat foomaticdb fortran gif gmp gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 jpeg lc ms lzw lzw-tiff mng mp3 mpeg ncurses nls opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png python quicktime readline samba sdl spell ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-f onts udev usb userlocales xml2 xpm xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc " Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY ----------------- lspci output: 00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2) 00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2) 00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2) 00:00.4 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 4 (rev a2) 00:00.5 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:00.6 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 3 (rev a2) 00:00.7 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 2 (rev a2) 00:02.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:03.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:04.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation C51 PCI Express Bridge (rev a1) 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C51PV [GeForce 6150] (rev a2) 00:09.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Host Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 LPC Bridge (rev a2) 00:0a.1 SMBus: nVidia Corporation MCP51 SMBus (rev a2) 00:0b.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0b.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP51 USB Controller (rev a2) 00:0d.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 IDE (rev a1) 00:10.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 PCI Bridge (rev a2) 00:10.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2) 00:14.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Ethernet Controller (rev a1) 00:18.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] HyperTra nsport Technology Configuration 00:18.1 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Address Map 00:18.2 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] DRAM Con troller 00:18.3 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] K8 [Athlon64/Opteron] Miscella neous Control 04:05.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc.

Hi David, The linux kernel already includes this functionality. 234 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT 235 bool "Include Custom DSDT" 236 depends on !STANDALONE 237 default n 238 help 239 Thist option is to load a custom ACPI DSDT 240 If you don't know what that is, say N. 241 242 config ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE 243 string "Custom DSDT Table file to include" 244 depends on ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT 245 default "" 246 help 247 Enter the full path name to the file wich includes the AmlCode declaration.

I don't find these option in gentoo-sources when I do a 'make menuconfig'. Do i need to manually set these options in '.config'? Thank for your information, David

Or in menuconfig, change the following to 'No'; 'Device Drivers'/'Generic Driver Options'/'Select only drivers that don't...' Then, go back to 'Power Management options'/'ACPI', the DSDT options are now visible. David
