You would have to increment the address by 1 (ie. B0 rather than AF at the
end).

However, on my machine, which is an Acer 5720 with 2GB, the combination of BIOS
v. 1.34 with the Ubuntu Hardy 2.6.24-16-generic kernel, controls the fan
without the assistance of any special boot flags, or the script.

I have suspended the thing to RAM, and I have hibernated it, and the fan has
continued to work more or less as I would expect it to on each occasion that I
have restarted.

So it looks as though BIOS v. 1.34 finally fixes it. Thankyou Acer!

The DSDT for v. 1.34 is compiled with the Micro$oft ASL compiler, and gives
syntax errors with the Intel compiler. I fixed them on my system, but I don't
think they matter, since the fan appeared to work before I had established that
the DSDT wouldn't go through 'iasl'.
