In an ideal world, where ACPI support is flawlessly added to all new
notebooks, and tested, I would agree. ACPI in real life, however, is
less perfect.

I'm sure you could use the same argument for the root terminal; the
average user shouldn't have to open up a terminal and su to root to do
any system configuration action.

I do not know *one* Linux user who has not used a root command shell to
do admin tasks.

Maybe a bad example, but you get my idea.

p.s. This wasn't intended to get into a long thread about fedora kernel
development, Dave Jones, Arjan and Alan Cox do a fantastic job in, my
opinion, the hardest area of development.

Back to my original question: Is there a simple way to recompile the src
kernel with the updated dsdt applied?
