Two possibilites: 1. The EC auto mode in your ThinkPad is crap. If this is the real problem, you will need to file a warranty request with Lenovo to fix the EC firmware. 2. The EC doesn't have an auto mode or the auto mode is enabled in a different way, and the safety net is getting the fan set to level 4. Note that auto mode "normal" speed *is* level 4, so verifying that 2800 RPM is level 4 in your ThinkPad might not help much. Please send me the dmidecode and acpidump output for your thinkpad. Remember to XXX-out the UUID and serial numbers in the dmidecode output. > I'm using Ubuntu Feisty kernel with IBM ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.13.

No, but later releases have better support for your ThinkPad in other areas, so you might want to try out the 0.15 release I just sent out if it will apply to your kernel. For maximum compatibility, do *not* enable thinkpad-acpi's input layer by default. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
