thanks for the acpidump


                    If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
                    {
                        Store (0x40, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x40, ^TPOS)
                    }

                    If (\_OSI ("Linux"))
                    {
                        Store (0x01, LINX)
                        Store (0x80, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x80, ^TPOS)
                    }

LINX is written and never read.
OSTB and TPOS are only compard to > 4, where this write has no effect

so OSI(Linux) is a NOP on this box.

thanks,
