freebsd stable - Sep 2003 - ACPI utilities

I have an Athlon system which isn't co-operating with the ACPI in
-stable (I haven't tried -current yet).  I notice that the general
recommendation in -current is to provide the output of acpidump but
none of the ACPI userland has been MFC'd.

I just had a quick try and building the -current userland on -stable
and found this is non-trivial because it appears that the APIs are
different between the two versions - AcpiOs{Read,Write}{Port,Memory}()
have different prototypes.

Any suggestions on the way forward?

I'm sorry, I can't support acpi on -stable.  Someone else may.

-stable has 0228, -current is 0619.  You can manually import the tools by
hacking the header files.  A better approach would be to boot the 5.1 live
filesystem image and use acpidump from there.
