Well, of course, but frustration level is sometimes getting high, and
one tries to fix as much as possible to get it working. I for example
removed my modified DSDT some time ago to test the `official' ACPI
implementation. Then I tried to get s2ram to working, to no avail.
Restarting was freezing the kernel beyond repair (there is already a bug
reported, but no real action).

Now of course I tried also to fix the compile errors in the DSDT etc.

Well, tell me how?
