I have no clue about ACPI, do you have some hints how to get the info you want? I found this: sudo acpidump > acpidata.dat acpixtract -sSSDT acpidata.dat acpixtract -sDSDT acpidata.dat iasl -d DSDT.dat SSDT*.dat ..and then look at the .dsl files that contain the AML assembler. But what to look out for? PS: failed to mention my x230 kernel was still 4.2.x in case it matters Thanks, Johannes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
