If the fan is controlled by thinkpad_acpi module, then we need to move it to the platform driver category. BTW, does the standard ACPI fan work? Please attach your acpidump, that is needed no matter where the bug belongs: # acpidump > acpidump.txt Thanks. Created attachment 183021 [details]

how do i tell?
however i think that automatic fan control works a bit, but it need to be tuned up... maybe some way to manually adjust the tresholds to be more sensitive may be useful...
Do you have any of the following files? /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device* and if so, please check its type. If its type is Fan, then it should be ACPI standard fan device and you can check if they work or not by writing 0/1(on/off) to their cur_state file. I don't think so :-( $ grep . /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device*/type /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device0/type:Processor /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device1/type:Processor /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device2/type:Processor /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device3/type:Processor /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device4/type:intel_powerclamp /sys/class/thermal/cooling_device5/type:LCD That means your fan is not controlled through standard ACPI but platform specific driver thinkpad_acpi, and that's why I moved the bug to platform_x86 category. well obviously... thinkpad_acpi module is probably not standart ACPI. it's IBM ACPI... |
