Hi,
I trying to use ACPI for linux in a Asus MotherBoard (P4P800) but I am unable to use thermal and fan the only ACPI that works is Buttons if I cat /proc/acpi/event and press the power button it gives up a message, but under /thermal_zone and /fan there is nothing... The BIOS from this MB says that it is ACPI 2.0 enabled, but as I sayd before I cannot use ACPI. Can anyone tell me if it is possibel to use? If /button woks, why /thermal_zone or /fan does not?
thaks

first check your .config has them enabled, eg.

CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y
CONFIG_ACPI_INTERPRETER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_AC=m
CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=m
CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=m
CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=m
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=m
CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=m
# CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set
# CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_ACPI_BUS=y
CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y
CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_PCI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y

Then see what dmesg says -- ACPI will tell you what it finds. If you think it doesn't find something it should, dump the DSDT with acpidmp, disassemble it, and look for "Device" and see what's in there.

Some MB's have ACPI fan control, other's don't.

cheers,

OK I already check my Kernel and it is everything OK, dmesg only find 3 devices, CPU1, CPU2 and Power Button.
I am pretty sure that my MB suports fan and thermal control cause the Bios Recognize it, I am kind of newby so how the hell do I disasemble the acpidmp?

See if your BIOS has a SETUP setting to boot an ACPI-enabled OS. If so, enable it.

after that,you can dump the DSDT with acpidmp and disassemble it with iasl -d and poke around in the AML to see what the BIOS thinks it supports.

see http://acpi.sf.net for pointers
