Just press Fn and F10 (should be the same on X30 and X50) together and watch (and report) the on-screen-display.

It seems taht on my laptop the fan does not kick on under dapper unless the cpu temp is so hot that I can barely touch the bottom of the laptop with my hand. there are no fan settings in the bios and I have the latest bios. acpi must be running but suspend etc work fine. Is there a util to control the fan from with linux and if so maybe the temp that it is prompted to turn on is set to high?


Hi Eaves,

as I am writing this, I am sitting in Front of a X50, which is very similar to your X30. Power/Fan/Temp-Controls are working pretty well. Even the "Silent-Mode" is selectable.

Could you post something about the function of the "Silent-Mode" FN-Key? If this is selected, the Fan is kept off as long as it could be. Thus: heat is increased to the utmost limit.

Keep us informed

Regards

Dietmar
