FYI @linrunner , I hope now that no other n00bs like me will disturb you :) |
If you want recalibration too, try to disable Secure Boot and the acpi_call module will probably load, |
Hmm, I would like to stay away from those Secure Boot parameter changes... Is it a lot I loose if not disabling it? :) Thank you again for your help :) . |
