Hi,

Can someone gather information on device to ACPI handle mapping?
Instructions are below
(assuming that you've kernel headers and a compiler installed)

git clone git://github.com/Lekensteyn/acpi-stuff.git --depth 1
cd acpi-stuff/acpi_dump_info
make
sudo make load
cat /proc/acpi/dump_info > dump.txt

Regards,
Lekensteyn
