Hi, i have problems with editing and re-compiling dsdt.aml files i've found on the net. I'm encountering many errors during compile process.

Now i try to extract my own dsdt and edit it. I have sound strings but couldn't find the ones for my RTL8111c network card and 8800GTS 320MB VGA card.

Do you have any reliable source for dsdt strings for spesific hardware?

Also is there anymore hardware needs to be edited in dsdt except the above three? (Sound, vga and network)

Field Note #1 @thorazine74 2009-09-17

You can try this: DSDT Simple Editor (osx 86.es/?p=610)
Keep in mind that even if you find some code for say 8800GTS, you would need to adapt it to your specific motherboard's DSDT, as they usually differ, even same board different bios revisions could have different DSDT code.

Field Note #2 @adrianmak 2009-09-17

for display card, I prefer EFI string instead of putting in dsdt file.

Field Note #3 @sk1nhd33t 2009-09-17

would anyone care to upload DSDTSE v1.2.3 (osx 86.es/?p=610) on a different site like mediafire? for some reason i cant download it, site just keeps on refreshing over and over on firefox and safari.
