--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Actually no. Although I've never seen a notebook where neither 'thermal' nor 'fan' modules would auto-load, it is quite possible the fan is entirely hidden in firmware. Windows 8.1 doesn't detect any ACPI cooling devices either. At first when I installed Linux the fan was always on. That got me thinking there must be a driver for it. But since then I had cases where the fan got switched off in Linux, so it seems to be operating just like in Windows 8 and is nothing to worry about. At this point it's more about how toshiba_acpi (and possibly toshiba_bluetooth) should behave. They get auto-loaded, but don't seem to have special casing for this model. toshiba_acpi AFAICT is mostly concerned with probing TOSHIBAs proprietary HCI management interface, which used to be a reliable source of information. It could well be that while this model has HCI, it is defunct and filled with dummy/disabled entries. I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell, but at least toshiba_acpi does not detect any accelerometers, fans or other devices. It just prints what it couldn't find. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
