_INI and _REG?

Does ACPI-CA call _INI on ThermalZone objects? I found a ThermalZone with an _INI method, which I hadn't seen before.

Does it call _REG on Device objects or is that up to the OS? The EC on this system has a _REG object that appears to affect behavior.

Finally, does anyone have a Gateway 400 SD4 with working fans?

Thanks,
Nate

I don't think so (but I am perhaps wrong). A thermal zone is not a device.

Normally, _REG() is called by the OS, but I have seen some AML that call _REG though with a _INI() (a thinkpad, IIRC) depending of the content of _OS or the return of _OSI().
