| TODO List for Chameleon Boot Loader␊ |
| ====================================␊ |
| - Integrate Prasys current work on options and quick shortcut modified version of 18seven␊ |
| ␊ |
| - Add autodetection of efistring algorythm to enabke graphics enabler to beanbled by default while not conflicting whith other efi string overriden content␊ |
| (original idea of Galaxy)␊ |
| ␊ |
| - Add a more sophisticated acpi loading mechanism to enable loading custom acpi tables when dsdtdrop=y␊ |
| Here's a specification to think about:␊ |
| First we must care about if a forced DSDT full path has been specified (was the pb smith had in␊ |
| his first tries) and take it for the DSDT path as is.␊ |
| Then we have the case where no DSDT path was set where we run our usual DSDT search algorithm to find this file.␊ |
| In the latter case, the file has to be named DSDT.aml and be in one of the / /Extra or bt(0,0)/Extra directory.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Now a first idea to implement correctly the acpi tables loading would be:␊ |
| ␊ |
| Whatever the path was hardcoded in the DSDT option or was automatically found, we extract the path part of ␊ |
| the DSDT file that has been successfully found and we run a loop to enumerate all other acpi files in the same directory.␊ |
| Now for each acpi file found, we should compare the name with an existing acpi table found in the system that␊ |
| we would normally load and replace this usual injection by the content of the file.␊ |
| ␊ |
| Once DropDSDT=y is set, no other acpi table than dsdt is loaded, then it is the responsability of user␊ |
| to provide any other acpi table.␊ |
| ␊ |
| - Add a new module capable of writing proprietary Chameleon data to ioreg:␊ |
| Using the DT__xxx() API, we will creat e a set of functions to write␊ |
| to log info, chameleon boot info to be retrieved by helper applications...␊ |
