Re: ACPI_STRICT_COMPLIANCE (was RE: RE: ACPI -- Workaround forbroken DSDT)

Hi!

quoted

think we can put under this umbrella also.

I agree.  This should make a lot of users happy, since the distro's will
work out-of-the-box without modification (at least on those machines
with known workarounds implemented in the ACPI driver), yet the OEMs can
still test for strict compliance by recompiling the kernel.  Better than
that would be a kernel command line option to do the same thing.
ACPI_STRICT=ON?

You know how OEMs test their hardware? They stick distro
CD in, and if it boots, it must be okay :-(.
At least command line option would be good, we can't
really expect oems to recompile.
