The following reply was made to PR i386/72566; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Nikolas Britton <freebsd@nbritton.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: i386/72566: ACPI, FreeBSD disables fan on Compaq Armada 1750 Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 07:19:12 -0600 As requested, here is a copy of my ASL: http://www.nbritton.org/uploads/compaq/armada_17xx.asl This bug also affects the whole Armada 1700 series. The work around I submitted does NOT work if the system is below the hw.acpi.thermal.tz0._ACx threshold, if it is below this threshold at system boot the fan will NEVER turn on even if hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.active=1 is set in loader.conf. Also is it possible to just extract the AML code from the Linux patch an use it to make a FreeBSD patch? I don't know as I'm not a programmer and I'm not sure of any GPL issues.
