Not necessarily the right fix. We have gone to a lot of trouble to discourage BIOS vendors from depending on the ill-defined OSI(Linux), so I hesitate to invoke it -- even for a workaround.
The problem at hand is that ASUS010 is not enabled for an OS that claims compatibility with Win7 (MSOS() == MSW7) below.
Scope (\_SB) { Name (ATKP, Zero) Device (ATKD) { Name (_HID, "ASUS010") Name (_UID, 0x01010100) Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized) { If (LEqual (MSOS (), MSW7)) { Return (Zero) } Else { Return (0x0F) }
Return (Zero) Return (0x0F) }
(heh, see any indication of lack of quality in this code?:-)
MSOS() does this:
Scope (\) { Name (OSLX, 0x10) Name (OSMS, 0x20) Name (MS98, 0x21) Name (MSME, 0x22) Name (MS2K, 0x23) Name (MSXP, 0x24) Name (MSVT, 0x25) Name (MSW7, 0x26) Name (OSFG, Ones) Method (MSOS, 0, NotSerialized) { If (LNotEqual (OSFG, Ones)) { Return (OSFG) }
Store (Zero, OSFG) If (CondRefOf (_OSI, Local0)) { If (_OSI ("Windows 2001")) { Store (MSXP, OSFG) }
If (_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP1")) { Store (MSXP, OSFG) }
If (_OSI ("Windows 2001 SP2")) { Store (MSXP, OSFG) }
If (_OSI ("Windows 2006")) { Store (MSVT, OSFG) }
If (_OSI ("Windows 2009")) { Store (MSW7, OSFG) }
If (_OSI ("Linux")) { Store (OSLX, OSFG) }
Return (OSFG) } Else
So I expect if you apply no patch, but boot with 'acpi_osi="!Windows 2009"' then that would also work properly, as OSFG above will be set to "MSVT" instead of "OSLX".
Looking through the DSDT, there are no references to OSLX or MSVT, or MSXP, for that matter. However, there is an additional reference to MSV7 in the temperature reading part of thermal zone TZ00, that looks like some sort of OS-specific initialization, perhaps a workaround. So also check that /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature still work before and after.
