The ACPI Module Tester is a small tool that can perform tests on the ACPI Extras Driver. All tests are done automatically. You only have to answer some short questions. It is a very easy way to report bugs and/or help the developers to add new hardware support.

1.1. What does the tool do?

• testing the special acpi devices (e.g. brightness or backlight control)
• ask the user if the tests fail or work correct
• create a log file with all the test results and importent system informations
• dump /proc/acpi/dsdt
• put the two files into a tar archive
• gzip or bzip the tar archive (if gzip or bzip2 is available)

1.2. What to do with the log file?

send the tar file to the ACPI Extras Driver devlopers
for more informations where to send see section 4. Supported ACPI Extras Driver
you can find the log file in /tmp/acpi_test

1.3. Sample Log Files

• Version 0.1
  • Asus M6V

Bash or something equal (executable: /bin/sh)

3.2. Normal Start

if this doesn't work check if the file is executable
