It's giving me around 40=C2=B0... 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 --=20 ------------------------------------------------------------------------=20 Klaus Lichtenwalder, Dipl.
