Hi everybody,

I want to install a fixed DSDT I found on the acpi4linux oueb page on my
system because I have a very serious problem with my asus L3D serie
laptop (the cpu temperature is very hot and after using the machine
during four months I had to change its motherboard because of this
problem) so I hope installing the fixed DSDT will perhaps solve the
problem ?

I downloaded the DSDT and compile it with iasl but after that if I have understand
well I must patch my kernel inorder to tell him to consider the new DSDT
instead of the bios DSDT. but unfortunatly I don't know where to find the
file required to patch the kernel or what to change manually in the
kernel tree to have the new DSDT considered by the kernel. I search the
archives, the howtos, the download section but nothing ! So thanks in
advance if you can help me !

tell me too if you think that what I plan to do will not solve my thermal
problem ! 

The last question : the problem is the same using the 2.4 or 2.6 kernel
series. what kernel serie do you recommand in order to have the best
acpi support ?

FYI, the cpu on this machine is an AMD Athlon XP mobile 2000+ and the
motherboard comes with an SIS chipset.

Thanks in advance for all your help !
