Original Question:
I'm trying to edit my dsdt to allow me to use my touchpad with voodooi2c. However when loading my dsdt (decompiled from iasl) I cannot save or export the created file.
Can anyone help me figure out how to either
A: fix my dsdt to be editable or
B: Create an SSDT for my purposes.
While I know simple SSDT creation from the samples I don't know how to say import my I2C device methods and totally overwrite them so that they are compatible with the kext extensions.
I think it has something to do with those missing symbols in the beginning of the file but I can't find much documentation online that helps me eliminate them.
