I have looked at the guts of my asl and have found basically the following:

  If (_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
  {
     Store (0x40, TPOS)
}


and the lot of "If (LEqual (TPOS, 0x40))" everywhere, including thermal 
and video sections.

Can it mean that some functions I need are specifically Windows-only and 
intentionally disabled in other systems (add Windows conspiration 
paranoid to taste)?
