Is what /proc/mtrr looks like on this system.Code:$ cat /proc/mtrr

reg05: base=0x0df700000 ( 3575MB), size= 1MB, count=1: uncachable
On a side note it seems like my system is allocating 512Mb to my video card. There is 4G of RAM in this system however only 3520M seems usable by the syste
Is there any way for me to check the amount of RAM being used by my GM965? Looking back through those gdm logs I think that error might actually be the root cause of my issue as it pops up every second log file which would indicate that it is happening in concordance with when I am forced to use a fresh gdm login...Code:$ free -m

On a side note I've actually had pretty good luck upgrading this laptop. It's gone from 7.04 to 9.04 without any kind of serious issues (until now).
Hello, here is my new dmesg file, Now i can see a folder in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone and Computer Temperature Monitor only show one temperature, before it show four
I didnt use the acpi_osi="Linux" option. i will try it and will compare the results.
i have a question: How can i restore the old DSDT file or make the os load it from bios?
thanks
Looks good. It should run like a new laptop now;) The only error now is:If you add the osi definition to the grub menu, that will go away, and your hardware will be initialized when Ubuntu boots according to the Linux acpi tables only. Your temp is being seen, so it should run cooler/quieter instead of being guessed atCode:ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
Suspend/hibernate should work now since your sleep states are recognizedCode:thermal LNXTHERM:01: registered as thermal_zone0 ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (37 C)
I would make a copy of the DSDT.aml file and keep it in a safe place. You will have to use it anytime you reinstall, or install any other Mac/Linux OS. The DSDT in your BIOS is broken and won't change. To remove it and boot with the original DSDT in the BIOS, just delete DSDT.aml in /etc/initramfs-tools, and update the initramfs again. This will remove the link to the custom DSDT.Code:ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5)
pormogo: The system isn't reporting 4GB. The first line is saying you have 256. You might try this method to see if it fixes the error: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=115104
many thanks :D, i will add acpi.. to the grub list :DQuote:

Hope everything is well in your end. I would like to request for assistance regarding my dsdt file. I think I belong to one of those who acquired a laptop with buggy implementation of dsdt. My /proc/acpi/fan is empty, and my fan does not turn on. Even if my laptop is idle, I am getting 58C and it goes as high as 65C when transferring huge amounts of data (in GBs). Appreciate if you could help me out as I am fairly new to the dsdt stuff. Thanks in advance.

Stay with me for a second, I'm not really getting what you're saying here. The first line, as in register00 there?Quote:

While that does not equate to the correct available amount of main system memory it doesn't look like 256Mb to me it looks like 2GB.
I also don't have poor glx gears performance. However I do see how it could create a problem so I'll give it a shot.
