Its a Phoenix BIOS btw. For the WMI: Could acer_wmi be extended for this as Alex suggested ? Another FSC model is listed in their hw-db. Atm this is fine for me - being able to adjust the brightness in "some" way. But this is not good for user/newbie xyz. How should he know the kernel-cmdline. Sidenote: I don't like this BIOS - there are just no features in it. I'm also struggling with vmx being disabled by the bios - and no menu to enable it. > But OSI(Linux) itself is a NOP on this box, since LINX is set and never > referenced, per below. > > -Len > > Method (_INI, 0, NotSerialized) > { > If (DTSE) > { > TRAP (0x47) > } > > Store (0x07D0, OSYS) > If (CondRefOf (_OSI, Local0)) > { > If (_OSI ("Linux")) > { > Store (0x01, LINX) > } > > If (_OSI ("Windows 2001")) > { > Store (0x07D1, OSYS) > } > > If (_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP1")) > { > Store (0x07D1, OSYS) > } > > If (_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP2")) > { > Store (0x07D2, OSYS) > } > > If (_OSI ("Windows 2006")) > { > Store (0x07D6, OSYS) > } > } > > If (LAnd (MPEN, LEqual (OSYS, 0x07D1))) > { > TRAP (0x3D) > } TRAP 0x3D is the Windows WMI code then ? > > TRAP (0x2B) > TRAP (0x32) I wonder what these two are ;) best regards Jan-Simon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
