I uploaded my fixed DSDT file.

'It is a bit tricky for me to get a link to my attached file named "fixed DSDT for Toshiba P100 PSPA3A-05S00P"! Can someone please help!!'

I added the DSDT fiel to the acpi.sourceforge.net database

Notes

• first installation was with Kubuntu 6.10

  • no problems during installation, powermanagement was working, but no sound

  • Ubuntu Edgy 6.10 had problems with the kill switch as describet in this Bugreport

• sound was not working

  • fixed buggy DSDT

  • updated to latest alsa
    • alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2
    • alsa-utils-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2
    • alsa-lib-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2

  • sound now working, seems a bit weak thought sometimes

sudo cp /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic /boot/initrd.img-2.6.20-16-generic.2007-07-08.bak
sudo cp /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.20-16-generic.2007-07-08.bak

sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic

• fix sound, get newest ALSA to work, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

sudo apt-get install build-essential ncurses-dev gettext
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

• so go and get
  • alsa-driver
  • alsa-lib

  • alsa-utils from http://www.alsa-project.org/

  • Setup installation directories

sudo mkdir -p /usr/src/alsa
cd /usr/src/alsa
sudo cp ~/downloads/alsa* .
sudo tar xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf alsa-lib-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2
sudo tar xjf alsa-utils-1.0.14rc4.tar.bz2

• Compile and install alsa-driver

cd alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4
sudo ./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
sudo make
