I note from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1282161:
"I purchased new Toshiba Satellite M505-S4945 laptop and installed 64-bit
Jaunty. Everything works great except that the fan cannot be turned on due to
broken ACPI tables from Phoenix BIOS. The fan makes a big difference (40C vs
70+C).
I found an omnibook module from sourceforge that is supposed to fix some
issues with Satellite laptops, but I was unsuccessful compiling it,
probably because the types of supported laptops do not include Satellite
M505. I am not a developer nor a programmer, so I cannot fix the source
code of omnibook module myself to add my specific model nor can I find
it from terminal."
They seems to get to the conclusion that:
"$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points
critical (S5): 108 C
passive: 101 C: tc1=30 tc2=30 tsp=50 devices=CPU0 CPU1
active[0]: 94 C: devices=FAN0
active[1]: 82 C: devices=FAN1
active[2]: 72 C: devices=FAN2
active[3]: 52 C: devices=FAN3
active[4]: 42 C: devices=FAN4 " is wrong.
What is the result of: "cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points" for
you in a terminal window?
I believe this is more a kernel bug. So I'll update the package.
** Package changed: gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Incomplete
