The two-speed fan dosen't seem to come on. With ACPI on, after the system has been running a little while and has warmed up, if I turn off acpi with "acpiconf -d" the fan will kick on immediately. After that the fan appears to behave normally, turning on and off when necessary. If the laptop boots warm with the fan on, it will shut off when it gets cool but it won't come back on again. There is a second fan on this model that seems to work fine, but it dosen't do enough to cool down the system. My original asl file can be found here: http://members.cruzio.com/~slazar/gw400sd4/gw400sd4.asl. I tried editing it and removing the OS-dependent areas and if statements in the TZ section and using a custom dsdt file with acpi_dsdt_load="YES" and acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/DSDT.asl" in my /boot/loader.conf. I also tried hw.acpi.os_name="Microsoft Windows NT" in /boot/loader.conf and other OS names as well. I also tried debug.acpi.disable="thermal". What else can I try? Any ACPI patches out there? Or perhaps I can sucessfully edit this file with some hints :) I've read the Intel ACPI spec and I am starting to understand the format... My boot messages can be found here: http://members.cruzio.com/~slazar/gw400sd4/messages Yes it is from 5.2-RC2 but I get the same messages in -CURRENT Cheers, Sean
