Hi,

Have you looked at the ACPI specification? Is this homework?

You have a few options:
- Find a COM that will do it for you.
- Use ACPICA.
- Implement an AML interpreter from scratch.

Cheers,

Hello Adam,

It's a small project from university, I've read ACPI specification, I don't know where to start.

I need to create a C program to run on MS-DOS, which turns off LCD pressing a key, and I need to write this code using ACPI, we can't use APM.

Perhaps you should work on setting up your development environment, it'll be a little challenging to do anything at all without a working compiler.

After do you do that, ask your teacher/instructor for help.

HINT: This is not a small project.

Hi,

I hope you've been given a long time for this...

Good luck,
Adam
