I tried gambit's modified voodoops2controller.kext sleep/resume works by closing lid!
Shutdown has to be done manually by holding power button.

how would you go about uninstalling voodoops2controller?

I tried and got kernel panic, when i moved everything what i thought was changed to its place

also is there a stand alone "terminal" program so you don't wait for cd to load?

dsdt goes straight to extra folder /Extra/dsdt.aml and works with my a07 bios no problem as mentioned previously by bcc9.

Kext helper worked for me, just make sure when replacing appleacpiplatform in /system/library/extensions/appleacpiplatform.kext/contents/macos/ with appleacpiplatform patched file, your permissions for patched file after you place it in kext and run through kext helper are system(read/write) wheel(read) everyone(read)

inside /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist after you edit your code looks something like this:
........
<key>DSDT</key>
<string>DSDT.aml</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string></string>
<key>device-properties</key>
........
battery icon should show up right after applying voodoobattery.kext I guess you should not restart if it doesn't might get kernel panics

I am currently running 10.5.7 w/ battery
here is what i did
download chameleon (must have latest version)
make sure to keep original file permissions when playing around with appleacpi, thats what messed me up last time i manually extracted original appleacpiplatform.kext and applied patched file to it, then used kext helper (fixed permissions w/ easy install button)
also sometimes i think you need to wait 5 sec before restarting i could still see mkext being modified automaticly.

placed dsdt.aml into /Extra (where my OSX is installed I don't have EFI partition to boot only w chameleon yet)
downloaded

plistedit pro inserted <key>........<key> stuff into com.apple.boot.plist like bcc9 mentioned to load DSDT on startup and VOILA working battery.

I have sleep/shutdown problems after installing voodoops2controller's optional touchpad and I have no clue how to uninstall it...???

There is only a *1 byte* difference in the patch I made to AppleACPIPlatform. Recommend you verify that with what you unpacked by running cmp -l. I suspect you introduced an ownership/permissions problem when copying over the patched version. Remember OSX is (strangely, unnecessarily) anal about kext permissions/ownerships.

I see in the ownership your file appears to have "staff" while my original has "wheel" and system instead of username in your file
