   ACPI Module Tester is a small tool that can perform tests on the ACPI Extras
   Driver. It is a very easy way to report bugs.

   --------------------------
      - create a log file with all the test results and importent system
        informations
      - dump /proc/acpi/dsdt
      - put the two files into a tar archive
      - gzip or bzip the tar archive (if gzip or bzip2 is available)

   1.2 What to do with the log file?
   ---------------------------------
      - send the tar file to the ACPI Extras Driver devlopers
