Thanks for the acpidump


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

LINX is written, but never read --a NOP
TPOS is compared to 0x40 (vista) in the SATA AML,
which OSI(Linux) will break
OSTB is compard to 0x40 (vista), which OSI(Linux) will break,
apparently disabling video notifies.

So I recommend that we continue to disable OSI(Linux) on this
box, unless you find that SATA or the video driver work
better without it.

thanks,
