I had to do some custom work on yours. After implementing the dsdt and rebooting, post a copy of

sudo dmesg

from a terminal so I can see if there are any ACPI errors. First open a terminal, click on "edit" and then "profile preferences". Then click on the "scrolling" tab and change scrollback from 512 to about 3000. Then run sudo dmesg. If you don't do this, the terminal will run out of space (memory) to store all of the output.

Wow wow!! 67GTA

Very good solutions you've found for me. You're a geek!!

Tnx! Tnx! Tnx!

I'm running leopard, and leo as ubuntu need dsdt fix for better performance.

This is dmesg by leopard.

The dmesg output is from Apple. I need to see one from Ubuntu. I don't see any errors though

Omg sorry, I'm going to download ubuntu 64 bit. At next time! (sorry for my bad english)

I renew, a big tnx for your work!

No big deal. I misunderstood. The custom DSDT should also work on your Mac. If you look on the insanely mac forums, someone was creating a tool to do this for Mac PC's. I don't know if it will do any more than what I've done. You might want to check it out.

Yes, the dsdt patcher (from insanelymac) remove hpet issues and fix "_T_0" > "T0_0" (your solution "T_0") issues; but your work was very usefull anyway, the patcher don't correct warnings. Tnx again 67GTA.
I'm posting 2 versions of dmesg from ubuntu (i'm loving it), with and without - acpi_osi="Linux" - boot option, as you wrote in first post.
But I haven't found any difference between the two dmesg.
I've checked the folders in /proc/acpi, but fan and thermal_zone are not populated, in any case.

Tnx for your time 67GTA.

NB: I'haven't a real mac, but I'm using Leopard on HP dv5-1070el.

lukamar: There isn't alot of difference between them. There are no errors, but the kernel still isn't able to see your temps. I would post a bug on launchpad. This might be something the ACPI devs need to look at. I don't think it is DSDT related. Is it actually over heating, or just not reorting temps? Try installing lm-sensors. Open a terminal and run

sudo sensors-detect

Answer yes (hit enter) for every question except the last. You need to answer yes for it. Then reboot and see if your temps are seen.
