Re: [ACPI-sppt] Compaq 1700T ACPI Support

"Actually, I have a Presario 17xx laptop and followed the instructions
there: http://poli.cs.vsb.cz/linux/somrak-presario-1700/"

So you have a little mission to doit, 
get from http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads.htm 
ACPI CA - Unix Build Environment (.tar.gz, 530K)

untar; cd acpica-unix-20030512/compiler; make

after 

./iasl -d /proc/acpi/dsdt  (had to do this as root, as dsdt was read
only for the root only)

then

./iasl -tc ./dsdt.dsl
==================
[costas@localhost iasl-linux-20030123]$ ./iasl -tc ./dsdt.dsl

===========================

I have found hints on how to fix warning 2026
(http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html#fix_broken_dsdt), but nothing
on the other two. Is it critical that they are fixed?


feel free to write me in português.
