------- Comment #17 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-11-06 01:30 ------- Understand what you said. In the boot phase the Linux ACPI will try to enumerate all the ACPI devices and load the corresponding driver for them. As there exists the ACPI FAN device, the ACPI fan driver will be loaded. So the following message is reported. In such case the userspace application or the other module can control the FAN device . But unfortunately the FAN control method is bogus. The FAN device can't be controlled by ACPI FAN interface. It is not the ACPI fault. When you try to change the LCD brightness, the _BCM object will be evaluated, in which the SMI is triggered. In such case OS can't know what is changed by SMI. So IMO this is a BIOS bug. And Linux ACPI can do nothing about 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
