SubjectRE: ACPI -- Workaround for broken DSDT
DateSun, 1 Feb 2004 23:33:44 -0500
From"Brown, Len" <>
The vendor should supply a correct DSDT with their BIOS.
In the case of Dell, you might inquire here: http://linux.dell.com/

For non-vendor supplied solutions, you might also follow the DSDT link
here: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/

Cheers,
