Device support data for Alienware Area-51 AAT2250

[LuduwigVanEuen]

Hello,

I searched the existing discussions and found a similar report for M17xR4, but this is a different device and the test-mode result seems different.

So I would like to provide test-mode output for a currently unsupported device.

Device:
Alienware Area-51 AAT2250

System:
Arch Linux

When running awcc, the device is detected but not yet supported:

2026-04-24 22:06:10.006 (   0.003s) [        C08C42C0]          AcpiUtils.cpp:76     ERR| Device not found: Alienware Area-51 AAT2250

As suggested by the tool, I ran:

awcc test-modes --test-mode

Output:

2026-04-24 21:51:58.636 (   0.003s) [        660E22C0]          AcpiUtils.cpp:148   WARN| Running in test mode - continuing despite device resolution failure

0xab -> 0x0 (G-Mode)

Generated thermal modes bitmap for database.json:
"thermalModes": "11010111"

Reverting to balanced.

It looks like the following modes are accepted:

Balanced
Performance
Cool
Quiet
G-Mode

I hope this helps with adding support for this device.

Thank you for your work on this project.
