Comment 21 for bug 575296

@sanctimon:

That's close. Actually, until a *correct* driver is written, Ubuntu will continue to try to load the old drivers, but the ACPI subsystem will prevent them from loading properly. This is why you see the error message. The driver goes refused by ACPI and then emits the message. And yes, that means you won't have full monitoring capabilities for your motherboard.

There is an option to explicitly override the ACPI subsystem so the old drivers will work again, but it's potentially dangerous. I talked more about that option in the other bug.

Please note that I will be out at the Ubuntu Developer Summit all next week, so it may be a while before I get back to this bug. However, rest assured that it is on my task list for when I'm back and have time.
