Yeah I've no idea if the ACPI implementation is wrong or not :-( I suspects its the BIOS actually, the BIOS wants _INI called before _REG. The ACPI video device isn't in the EC address space, so it ends up in the default region address space. So we'd really need to know how Windows sets up the _REG calls for the non-EC spaces and where its calls the _INI methods wrt to that. The thing is I think the actual ACPI lid device is fine, its just opregion isn't updated until we get an event later.
