I'm giving up on turning down the slimtop fan for now, the only
way I can think of to figure out how Sony is turning down the fan
is to boot windows, single step through the installation of the
device drivers until I know which one is doing it, and then
disassemble it to see what they're up to. I
I'm slightly hoping that enabling an AUTO HALT mode will turn the fan down.
I don't think it will, I think I will have to do some subset of what
"acpiconf -s 1" does in cpu_idle but will still respond to the next clock
interrupt...
So my two questions are:
1. Is there an obvious subset of S1 tha

"acpiconf -s 1" switches the fan to its low setting, so we do know
how to do it.

OK, I intended to try acpi_thermal hacking for the next target, now
I can be a tester and feed back something for Scott's hack :-)

Thermal management implementat
I've installed current on a Vaio LX800 slimtop, configured ACPI and
can turn the thing on and off with the "power" button. By the way,
the 4.2R to -current upgrade was painless.
Now I'd like to figure out how to turn the damn fan up and down. This
machine is quiet under windows but sets the fan
