Hello everybody,
it has been pointed out on the list, that an implementation of ACPI for the
GA-M57SLI-S4 needs to be done in a "cleanroom" to avoid legal issues.
Is it possible to move the ACPI functionality from the BIOS to the linux
kernel? By extracting the DSDT from the vendor BIOS and preparing a kernel
with:
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE="/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.21/dsdt.hex"
the user could run linuxbios but the vendor's DSDT as a workaround for the
time being.
What modifications are necessary in linuxbios to allow for this?
Or do the same legal issues aply?
Thanks,
Andi
