Thanks for the acpidump
Looks a lot like that on the Quanta boards from HP...

We need to disable OSI(Linux) on this box if we want
the proposd PNP0C32 to work.

-Len



   Scope (\_SB)
    {
        Name (LINX, 0x00)
        Name (OSTB, Ones)
        OperationRegion (OSTY, SystemMemory, 0x2FE9FF4C, 0x00000001)
        Field (OSTY, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
        {
            TPOS,   8
        }

        Method (OSTP, 0, NotSerialized)
        {
            If (LEqual (^OSTB, Ones))
            {
                If (CondRefOf (\_OSI, Local0))
                {
                    Store (0x00, ^OSTB)
                    Store (0x00, ^TPOS)
                    If (\_OSI ("Windows 2001"))
                    {
                        Store (0x08, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x08, ^TPOS)
                    }
...
                    If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
                    {
                        Store (0x40, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x40, ^TPOS)
                    }

                    If (\_OSI ("Linux"))
                    {
                        Store (0x01, LINX) // NOP -- never refereced after set
                        Store (0x80, ^OSTB)
                        Store (0x80, ^TPOS)
                    }

PHNP0C32 looks for OSTB == 0x40, which this code clobbers,
so OSI(Linux) will disable that:
                    Device (MBTN)
                    {
                        Name (_HID, EisaId ("PNP0C32"))
                        Name (_UID, 0x01)
                        Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)
                        {
                            If (LEqual (\_SB.OSTB, 0x40))
                            {
                                Return (0x0F)
                            }
                            Else
                            {
                                Return (0x00)
                            }
                        }

                        Method (GHID, 0, NotSerialized)
                        {
                            If (DMED)
                            {
                                Notify (MBTN, 0x02)
                            }

                            Return (Buffer (0x01)
                            {
                                0x01
                            })
                        }
                    }
