(I had sent this to Benjamin yesterday, but forgot to CC to the mailing
list, so here it is again, for future reference)

As far as I understand, the DSDT table is shipped with your laptop, and not
with the distribution. In linux, you can extract the dsdt table to a file
using:

cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > /tmp/mydsdt

You can then use the Intel dsdt disassembler / compiler to verify which
errors exist and correct them. This is what the first poster actually did.

The following forum post from the Gentoo forums gives pretty good and
general instructions on how this is achieved, in case you cannot find a
corrected dsdt table. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=122145

You can also check the database of the acpi4linux project if someone has
posted their correction there: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php

In his original post, Oliver mentioned that he had managed to get the file
containing the DSDT table working under Linux and was then trying to get it
to worunder Solaris. If possible, I would really like a copy of that file,
as I have the same sort of laptop, and am having problems with overheating
and sound caused the fact that Ubuntu Linux ships with an incorrect DSDT.
