Install cmake, unpack the tarball and do:
$ cmake .
$ make
$ ./test-libacpi
and send me the output of test-libacpi together with tmpfile which should be generated like:
for i in `find /proc/acpi -type f`; do
echo -e "FILE: $i ================\n" >> tmpfile
cat $i >> tmpfile
done
via mail to:

UPDATE: yes I totally fucked up the install instructions and the generation of the tmpfile
Sorry.
And in case I didn't reply to every mail I got until now, thanks very much for you help all!
Nico Golde developed a library to easily gather ACPI information from a Linux system. Before releasing the library to the public he needs some people with different hardware configuration (e.g. two ba ...
