RE: General ACPI/Linux question

From: Constantinos Antoniou [mailto:costas-FrUbXkNCsVf2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org] 
The way I (don't) understand it, the ACPI implementation expects some
things to be defined correctly in the DSDT table. However, some OSes
manage to work with whatever is there.

And to go one step further, if I change this DSDT thingie, 
will the ACPI
functionality in the other OSes still work? So, would an 
option be to be
more lenient (I understand that there are standards and people should
respect them...)

You can override your DSDT by changing the Linux ACPI code. This doesn't
change the DSDT in your BIOS, however, so booting another OS will just
result in using the BIOS one (which is probably what you wanted.)
