[Andrew Murray <amurray@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Albert,

I ran your script on my DSL file and got the following results:

amurray@summer:~/acpi_call$ perl query_dsdt.pl -d ./ -tokens VGA:EGP:OFF:ON
03 DSDT.dsl {   EGP => 7        ON => 24        VGA => 2 }
amurray@summer:~/acpi_call$ perl ./query_dsdt.pl -d ./
01 DSDT.dsl {   _DSM => 6 }
amurray@summer:~/acpi_call$

How do I use this information with acpi_call to switch my graphics
card - or is it not that simple?  Documentation on the process from
taking a DSL file to doing something useful would be useful.

Thanks,

Andrew Murray
