This is a maillist, pleas do not expect, that you get an answer within hours... I would say if you didn't get an answer within 2 days it's ok, to ask again... But if you ask again, please do not just resend your old email.

The DSDT can be be replaced by the host OS a patch for this purpose can be found at : http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml. In general it is not the right way to replace the DSDT. Linux should work on any box without replacing the DSDT...
