Description Matt T. Proud 2004-02-07 22:51:06 UTC 
As illustrated in http://dev.gentoo.org/~agriffis/N620c/vlad-dsdt-2.6.0-test9.diff, it would be quite helpful if the patched Gentoo kernels would support a custom DSDT table.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Matt T. Proud 2004-02-08 09:46:37 UTC 
Actually, what is listed on http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml may prove more useful to end users, for they will not have a need to recompile the kernel when using a custom DSDT table.
Comment 2 Danilo Reinhardt 2004-02-24 07:33:26 UTC 
The current patch from http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml work with gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.3. It would be very helpful if the patched is added in an upcoming gentoo kernel release.
Comment 3 Jason Cox (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-09 04:52:14 UTC 
I think adding this to an existing gentoo kernel will go unused by too many people for it to be worth while. I think it's something that's best left upstream with the rest of the changes that happen in the ACPI code. If you'd like to help get this mainstream, head to http://bugme.osdl.org and see how it's looking.
