Re: [gentoo-user] Settings for Fan
Hi! This what I get: $ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/trip_points critical (S5): 97 C passive: 95 C: tc1=5 tc2=4 tsp=600 devices=0xc14defa0 $ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/cooling_mode setting not supported cooling mode: passive I am not used to this stuff yet. What does it mean? Should I build the bios support in the kernel? These are my ACPI and APM settings: # # ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support # CONFIG_ACPI=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP=y CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_FS=y # CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP is not set CONFIG_ACPI_AC=y CONFIG_ACPI_BATTERY=y CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=y CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO=m # CONFIG_ACPI_HOTKEY is not set CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y CONFIG_ACPI_THERMAL=y # CONFIG_ACPI_ASUS is not set CONFIG_ACPI_IBM=y # CONFIG_ACPI_TOSHIBA is not set CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR=0 # CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is not set CONFIG_ACPI_EC=y CONFIG_ACPI_POWER=y CONFIG_ACPI_SYSTEM=y CONFIG_X86_PM_TIMER=y # CONFIG_ACPI_CONTAINER is not set # # APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support # # CONFIG_APM is not set Any hint?

If both are true, you should get some files in /proc/acpi/fanthat may allow you to manually control the fan.You might also see if 'cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_mode' or'cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points' report anythinginteresting.Unfortunately the fan in my Dell is controlled by the hardware orBIOS, so I can't be of a lot of help here.-Richard-- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list Yahoo!

I don't think this affects your fan directly though, rather your fan (obviously) affects /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature. Did you check out the bios?

There is nothing in the path /proc/acpi/fan/ it is empty. Are there special modules I have to compile against the kernel?Richard Fish [EMAIL PROTECTED] schrieb: On 5/31/06, JC Denton wrote: Hi!

[gentoo-user] Settings for Fan
Hi! Where can I configure my fan? I have a Thinkpad R40 and the fan starts realy often. The thing is, the air coming out of the notebook is almost cold! Also the fan runs always in the highest mode. But is had at least 2 modes. I have all the acpi stuff enabled in the kernel but no bios-support. Can I change the temperature values (I know it is some risk ;-) )? Can I set the fan speed somewhere?
