I succesfully patched the acpi ( this site was very helpfull btw
acpi.sf.net ) and I also got the X700 working. However I don't get the
DVD DMA patch. Can you please describe what you did in more detail ?
Also I was playing with the hard drive setting and think I screwed up
something. HD performace dropped sharply but i not sure what i changed,
could please tell me what modules do you use to get the HD working
right??
Thank you!
