------- Comment #65 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-09-07 18:52 ------- Do you know how to read and override DSDT? Here is a description http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/faq.php You should cluster above mentioned functions with lines like: Store ("Variable VARIABLE is:", debug) Store (VARIABLE, debug) Maybe we get clue why 0x1D GPEs do not end as thermal notifcations even they possibly should. The problem is that Dell in general (and especially at these places) makes a lot use of SMI calls. SMI triggers BIOS code getting executed behind our back (impossible to track in OS what is done there). There is the Dell dcdbas driver which is passing userspace requests to the kernel, converts them into a SMI and triggers BIOS code. You should double check whether this one got loaded and if yes try without. Best make sure that it never got loaded, e.g. by temporarily moving the .ko driver in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/... away. Best you always have a look at /proc/acpi/event, there should pop up thermal events if things start to work. Or maybe you need the userspace app (more unlikely). I do not know it, I expect it is a binary Dell app, but maybe it's even open source, you should be able to find it. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
