Buggy DSDT on Dell Latitude E5400

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dear all,

On a recently bought Dell Latitude E5400 laptop with Debian unstable
installed, the fan is constantly working.
This happens although the temperature reported by acpi -v is around 30
degrees Celcius, and although top reports a CPU usage around 1%.

Moreover, when the installed Windows XP is started and the machine is
left untouched, the fan remains turned off all the time.

Are these symptoms the consequence of a buggy DSDT which Windows
overrides ? 
In that case, how can the problem be fixed ?
Is it necessary to disassemble and study the DSDT, or is it possible to
somehow fetch the working one presumably used by Windows XP ?

Any help / suggestion warmly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sebastien.
