Hi, I have recently bought an Acer 4061NWLCi laptop and am having trouble getting ACPI to work. I hope somoene will help me out :-) I am running Ubuntu Linux -- Breezy Badger 5.10. With the default Ubuntu kernel (2.6.12) ACPI did not work at all. I did not even get the battery status in GNOME. Then I installed the latest kernel ( 2.6.16.1) and ACPI started working - at least partially! I could check my CPU temperature, AC adapter status, and battery status. The only thing not working is the CPU fan. I tried reading through my current(broken) DSDT and surprisingly there is no mention of a fan anywhere! In the Thermal Zone configuration there is no mention of _ACx (_AC0, _AC1, etc.) as well. I can post my DSDT to the list if it would help. Can anyone please help me in fixing this? Running my laptop without a fan is pretty dangerous as the CPU temperatures crosses 65 degrees celcius at times. Can I declare a fan and an active cooling temperature point in the DSDT, recompile it and hope that it would work? Has anyone else done this kind of a thing before?
