OperationRegion (MBOX, SystemMemory, 0x7F6BEE10, 0x00000112) Field (MBOX, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve) { PCI1, 8, PCI2, 8, PCI3, 8, PCI4, 8, PCI5, 8, PCI6, 8, PCI7, 8, PCI8, 8, NLCK, 8, ZIPE, 8, COMA, 8, CAIO, 8, CAIP, 8, ... DTSE, 8, I would think that if this were enbaled by BIOS SETUP, that the flags would exist as a bit in CMOS, but it is always possible that CMOS bits are expanded into this memory at startup... Of course this also means as a workaround, that you could write a small driver to set DTSE, or scribble on physical memory, to set this flag to enable access to the thermal sensors... I would also check that you're running the latest BIOS -- it is possible that this is simply an incomplete feature. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
