This computer has many derivatives and you should check with your OEM if this is the model of your computer. However, if your notebook has an amd64 processor and an Ati Mobile Radeon 9700+ this is probably it.
You must have these emerged:
The steps are as follows:
| Code: | su
cd [a temporary directory where you can write]
|
To extract the DSDT:
| Code: | cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat
|
To disassemble the DSDT:
Adapt dsdt.dsl:
| Code: | vi dsdt.dsl
[Go to line 1682 and delete all the "zero's" on that line and on the lines following]
[Go to line 2351 and change it to : Return (KELV (\_SB.PCI0.SBRG.EC0.XHPP))
|
*NOTE: You could use any other editor such as gvim to make it easier. Also, the line numbers might change with different versions of iasl.
To compile new DSDT:
Move it to the right spot:
Fix Kernel:
| Code: | cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options ---> [ ] Select only drivers that don't need compile-time external firmware (Unchecked)
Device Drivers ---> Generic Driver Options ---> [ ] Prevent firmware from being built (Unchecked)
Power management options ---> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> [*] Include Custom DSDT (Checked)
Power management options ---> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> () Custom DSDT Table file to include (press enter and type /boot/dsdt.hex)
[exit and save]
[make new kernel]
[reboot with new kernel]
|
You can test it with:
| Code: | cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
|

Just a quick note to say thanks for this.
This technique worked brilliantly on my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo A1630
