hello luis,

| Is it normal that this kind of machine (a 1.6GHz centrino) do not have a
| thermal zone? I don't find thermal information under XP also but in my
| ignorance I thought this should exist.
|
| My first attempt was to dissassemble, correct and override the DSDT but

| change anything.

the hardware/software acpi implementation on your laptop is independent
of the platform, whether it is centrino or other.

after inspection of your dsdt i didn't find references to any thermal zones.

for example, page 287 of the acpi specificatoin 2.0c states that every
thermal zone MUST have a _TMP object. there is no _TMP object on your
dsdt, so i deduct one of two things:
1. your acpi code is not compliant with the standard
or
2. you really don't have thermal zones.

since there are no _CRT, _HOT, _ALx, _PSL, _PSV, _SCP, _TMP, _TZD, _TZP
and unless there is/are other place/places where thermal zones are
defined, i conclude that you don't have thermal zones defined.

maybe someone else could confirm this...

is that odd? i don't know... i am just learning ACPI now, so i don't
have the experience.

cumprimentos,
pedro venda.
