Hi,

More information...

I reinstalled and booted Windows and confirm that the fan behaves sensibly
while using that OS.

I extracted the DSDT from the Windows Registry, and decompiled it to dsl (what
MS calls asl, apparently).

I then compared it to the DSDT from a Linux boot (Ubuntu 9.04).

I had to deal with 0x0660 vs 0x660 and 1 vs 0x1 and _pr_ vs pr_, and varying
spaces, and lines etc. etc.

Also, logic like "lgreaterequal()" vs "lnot(llessthan(...))"

Bottom line: there's not much difference.

There does seem to be some constants that are different.  For example 32 vs
offset(0x8).  I don't know what that means.

There are buffers which seem to be initialized with hex vs strings.

It's quite possible the secret is in there somewhere.

Can you tell me where to look to narrow down the search?

What else could be controlling the fan?

Does anyone here know anything that can help?

regards,
RR
