This link was presented to me in the acpi-kernel-documentation:
https://01.org/linux-acpi/documentation/overriding-dsdt
but I am unable to make an ACPI-dump from my testing-machine.
Installation was reported here:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=733337
I switched from XFCE back to GNOME today and I think the 'sort folders before
files'-option of the file-manager is not working here.
