Looking at the DSDT link posted, those variables are never set in it. I wonder 
who, or what, is expected to set them then...

Perhaps it would be worth experimenting instead with OSI when booting and see 
what happens then? e.g.

acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"

(Perhaps OSYS also triggers an SMI trap which does or doesn't do it? Worth a 
shot at least).

I've also had a report from a user the other day that hit the same bug on an 
Aspire 5710 series (which seems to have the same root cause, from glancing 
over the DSDT):

Acer BIOS's never expose the fan, AFAIK (and it's not available through WMI 
either).
