Markus Gaugusch recently presented a patch for integrating a custom DSDT via initrd, similar to the approach of bootsplash. Another extensive manual by jetblack was made available at Gentoo's.Ĭheck also Philipp Matthias Hahn's page in our Wiki how to integrate a custom DSDT.

Richard Black wrote a HOWTO about integrating a custom DSDT into the kernel and how to debug it. So there is a need to patch these tables by us. Unfortunately, many hardware vendors and OEMs are not capable of supplying fully functional tables (not even the members of the ACPI SIG), see also the blacklist. It is always inserted into the ACPI Namespace by the OS at boot time. This table contains the Differentiated Definition Block, which supplies the information and configuration information about the base system. This is just a short introduction to DSDTs, see the specification, chapter 2.1 for more info.ĭSDT is an acronym for Differentiated System Description Table. #include - no warranties - no liabilities.Ĭurrently, we can offer DSDTs from our database, supplied or commented by people. This section is open for abuse like a WikiWiki, so please: always be aware of that. You can also make comments about these here. These pages offer facilities to upload improved or original DSDTs. If Windows handles an un-modified DSDT and Linux does not. Further, the maintainer and the development team generally consider it a Linux bug

Supported systems should run ONLY the DSDT supplied by the platform vendor. DSDT modification is for debugging and development only.
