Comment 97 for bug 1283589

@Jan: No wonder, it is the same chipset, the "Intel HM76". Have you installed the HECI driver from Samsung to your Windows?
After installing it, it should work if the doc from Intel is correct that the embedded controller and therefore lid, power and battery are controlled via HECI/MEI instead of SMBus.

Can you check your Linux kernel >= 3.5 config for CONFIG_INTEL_MEI and CONFIG_INTEL_MEI_ME please?

Locations:
-> Device Drivers -> Misc devices -> Intel Management Engine Interface
-> Device Drivers -> Misc devices -> ME Enabled Intel Chipsets

You should have a /dev/mei device then. The other driver provides MEI support for the following Intel chipsets:

7 Series Chipset Family
6 Series Chipset Family
5 Series Chipset Family
4 Series Chipset Family
Mobile 4 Series Chipset Family
ICH9
82946GZ/GL
82G35 Express
82Q963/Q965
82P965/G965
Mobile PM965/GM965
Mobile GME965/GLE960
82Q35 Express
82G33/G31/P35/P31 Express
82Q33 Express
82X38/X48 Express

The HM76 belongs to the 7 Series Chipset Family.

There is also kernel documentation: Documentation/misc-devices/mei/
Sending an email to <email address hidden> could also help.

Intel AMT (Active Management Technology) is required in the user-space it seems:

There are "Power Packages" and the LMS (Local Manageability Service). OpenAMT seems to be legacy.

This is the place for latest Open Source Intel AMT downloads:
