Ok I had the impression that it was that the ACPI wasn't mature enough.
Anyway I'm glad I cannot change the fan and termal as I don't want my
laptop to overheat. The battery is not so much needed either as first
the light becomes red and then after 10-15 min it start blinking and
then you know it is time to turn off. :-)

OK, but APM used to work on older models of the BIOS
