You'll have to look at the ACPI spec if you want to decode the field values. In this case, the numbers are field widths and mean FAN is 1 bit, FANL is 16 bits wide. The spec won't tell you what FAN or FANL mean but you can sometimes figure it out from the surrounding AML. I looked at a similar ASL dump and it appears the FAN and FANL values aren't referenced elsewhere. So your fan control needs to be done by something other than ACPI. -Nate
