Jan-Simon,
Thanks for the dmidecode output.

Did the console dmesg ask you to send it because
of OSI(Linux)?

Do you notice any functional difference when booting with

"acpi_osi=Linux"        (default for 2.6.22 and earlier)
vs.
"acpi_osi=!Linux"       (default for 2.6.23 and later)

Also, please send me the output from acpidump.

thanks,
-Len

ps
If you don't have acpidump, you can get it from pmtools here:

Didn't notice any difference.

thanks for the acpidump in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9939

This BIOS makes heavy use of TRAP's into SMM, Windows version-specific hooks,
and WMI -- all bad news for Linux.

But OSI(Linux) itself is a NOP on this box, since LINX is set and never referenced, per below.

LINX is not a variable, but a field in SystemMemory  region. Thus it 
could be accessed from SMM or EC firmware without us knowing that.
IMHO it is too brave to call it NOP.

True, and some other BIOS have had it as a field as well.

However, I'm comfortable taking this risk because:
1. we've never noticed any difference with the field set.
2. there is approximately 0 chance that this vendor is writing Linux-aware EC or SMM code.
3. we want to stamp out the use of OSI(Linux), not encourage it,
   so erring on the conservative side is to turn it off and be quiet by default.

Its a Phoenix BIOS btw. 

For the WMI: Could acer_wmi be extended for this as Alex suggested ?
Another FSC model is listed in their hw-db.

Atm this is fine for me - being able to adjust the brightness in "some" way.
But this is not good for user/newbie xyz. How should he know the 
kernel-cmdline.


Sidenote:
I don't like this BIOS - there are just no features in it. I'm also struggling 
with vmx being disabled by the bios - and no menu to enable it.

TRAP 0x3D is the Windows WMI code then ?

I wonder what these two are ;)

yes, but rather than extending acer_wmi, it would probably be more appropriate
to fork it into fsc_wmi...

only "Windows 2001 SP1" -- so it must be a pretty targeted SMM entry point...
