This didn't help

I managed to get hold of an xp cdrom and an old hard drive. So I
installed windows. It's giving me around 40°... More or less what I
would expect. So, this BIOS (still) is broken for non windows systems.
There's no upgrade available (took the opportunity to check while
running windows). Guess I'll write a nice (?) letter to the dealer as
well as foxconn, just to not let this go unnoticed.
Probably I'll give it a try overriding the dsdt ...

Thanks
Klaus
