Re: [ACPI-sppt] ACPI and Asus M2N

Yes, I do. There are some small problems left, but it works fine.

What I did:

- got Kernel 2.4.22pre4 (already contains acpi 20030619)

- updated my Mainboard BIOS to Version 206

- got the Custom DSDT (custom 206) for ASUS M2400N from the acpi website 	
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php

- compiled the dsdt with the intel iasl compiler
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/iasl-linux-20030523.tar.gz

- patched the kernel with a modified version of this patch ( you need to 
change there's a missing struct in the typecast (need since 2.4.21):
http://dude.noc.clara.net/~faye/compaq2701ea/linux-2.4.18-acpi-20020709-dsdt.patch.bz2


Look at this HOWTO: http://www.cpqlinux.com/acpi-howto.html

Problems left:
- the fan turns on from time to time, this is annoying
- On my dual boot system (WindowsXP) I have a problem booting Linux everytime 
after I started Windows (Kernel hangs at boot when trying to replace the 
custom dsdt) - this problem only occurs after using windows


If someone knows about fixes to these problems I would be glad to know.
