My dmesg has this: ACPI: Thermal Zone [THRM] (39 C)
and then there's acpitool- a Linux ACPI client, allowing you to query or set ACPI values Running 'acpitool -t' returns: Thermal zone 1 : ok, 61 C Trip points : ------------- critical (S5): 100 C --- Vladimir on 07/21/2008 03:07 PM list-catcher said the following:
The most important of the problems involves the fan. The laptop gets a whole lot hotter using linux while compiling than it did using vista while compiling which implies that there is some fan control missing from my install. What sort of ebuilds/apps should I be looking at to solve the problem?After further investigation of the above with the helpful hint of checking out 'fancontrol' apparently my laptop contains no pwm capable chips. Now I suspect this is highly unlikely as the fan speed does indeed change under vista. I wonder then if it's just not detecting the chip. Anyone know of a utility or way to find my chip?
