** Description changed:

  This is for people with a hybrid graphics configuration to be able to
- submit the DSDT information:
+ submit the DSDT information: This includes nVidia Optimus and AMD Hybrid
+ Graphics.
  
- To compile your DSDT information, install if you haven't already the
- acpidump and iasl tools:
+ To gather information about the laptop model, install dmidecode. For the 
DSDT/SSDT
+ files, install the acpidump and iasl tools:
  
-     sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl
+     sudo apt-get install acpidump iasl dmidecode
  
- or
+ or (on Fedora):
  
-     sudo yum install pmtools iasl
+     sudo yum install pmtools iasl dmidecode
  
- Then run the following commands on a bash terminal:
+ Then use the script from http://lekensteyn.nl/files/get-acpi-info.sh to 
create the
+ tarball containing information about the laptop model, PCI hardware and ACPI 
tables.
+ To do so, run the following commands in a terminal:
  
-     mkdir ~/acpiinfo ; cd ~/acpiinfo
-     sudo acpidump > acpidump.txt
-     # enter password
-     sudo acpixtract acpidump.txt
-     ls *.dat | while read i; do iasl -d "${i}"; done
-     pid=`sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name`
-     vid=`sudo dmidecode -s system-version`
-     name=${pid// /}.${vid// /}
-     mkdir "${name}" && cp *.dsl "${name}"/
-     tar czf "${name}.tar.gz" "${name}"/ && ls -l "$( pwd )/${name}".tar.gz
  
- This will create a tar.gz file that you can attach to the bug report.
- Finally, for posting the information in the bug report, you can check
- the laptop and graphics card model identifiers with these commands:
+     wget http://lekensteyn.nl/files/get-acpi-info.sh
+     sh get-acpi-info.sh
  
-     sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name && sudo dmidecode -s system-version
-     lspci -vnnn | perl -lne 'print if /^\d+\:.+(\[\S+\:\S+\])/' | grep VGA
+ This will create a tar.gz file that you can attach to the bug report. In the 
comment
+ itself, please include a link to the product page of the model (if available).
  
  This information will allow the full development of hybrid graphics
  features for Linux. Thanks for your help!
