you don't need to apply a patch to the kernel anymore, there's an option
for a custom DSDT in the kernel already. But if you use the FC3 config
files you'll need to disable "Select only drivers that don't need
compile-time external firmware" in the Device Drivers/Generic Driver
before you can enable it.
So actually I *do* need to recompile my kernel (given that I only use
the stock kernels from Fedora Core and Fedora Core Updates Released) to
use a custom DSDT? I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. You're
saying that it is now possible to use a custom DSDT without compiling it
into the kernel, but the stock FC kernels have not been compiled in such
a way to take advantage of this. In which case, has anyone opened a bug
report asking that they enable this option?
