thanks for the acpidump.
Like other Acers, acpi_osi=Linux sets OSYS=0x03E8,
a value which no AML code checks for. But it prevents
the settings for Windows, thus disabling all the (tested) paths
that Windows takes through the BIOS.
This includes a bunch of hooks in docking, device power management,
and who-knows-what 2nd-order hooks througout their 8000 line BIOS.
Unless comebody can show that acpi_osi=Linux specifically helps
some Linux functionality, there is a strong case to keep
it disabled by default on this Acer, and all Acers.
thanks,
