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?
Is your fan controlled by ACPI? Do you have the ACPI fan driver
built? If both are true, you should get some files in /proc/acpi/fan
that 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 anything
interesting.
Unfortunately the fan in my Dell is controlled by the hardware or
BIOS, so I can't be of a lot of help here.
