The DSDT is one of the ACPI tables contained in the system BIOS, which "ships with" the system, not with the OS. Given the licensing/redistribution/version- management issues alone, I'm reasonably certain no OS ships with ACPI tables are part of the OS distribution. So, the alternate table is created by the end-user by dumping the system DSDT table using the 'iasl' utility, modified, and re-assembled using iasl. This is what Oliver described with: > with my Toshiba P105 laptop I had the common issue that a broken > ACPI table was the cause for problems with the sound device. > Disassembling the code with Intel's iasl compiler, fixing the bugs > in the source code and recompiling the DSDT worked fine. Given that there may be licensing/copyright restrictions on re-distribution of the BIOS, Oliver may instead choose to provide you the diffs/changes he made to the DSDT table. I do not have these changes myself.
