In my case I have a laptop, where the graphic controllers have become the major chipset on the motherboard. I have had trouble with busses, devices, ..everything.. Some of the hardware are not enabled by Fedora, and I had to dual boot with Vista (64bit). Fedora 10 did seem to change behaviour after upgrades done in Microsoft, etc. Is the interface through some "DSDT" tables ( is that the name for it ?) Now - for the first time, I have installed XP ( 32 bit ) and drivers. In other words - the hardware descriptions in ACPI may have changed. Questions: - is there a way to save those tables ? ( compare tables from XP and Vista, maybe add them in a bugzilla report if they are different ? ) //ARNE |
