From: hugo vanwoerkom on 28 Jul 2010 09:20 Hi, These are my first days with running Lenny on an Acer Aspire 3613WLCi and I see temps like: TZS0 70 TZS1 52 but I can't seem to find a utility to control the fan: I would like to turn in on and see if those temps change.

I have acerfand installed but that only sets the fan to 'AUTO' or 'OFF' and is sort of pervasive, it keeps writing to syslog and it seems to be able to create a race condition. acerhdf does not compile and what it says in the readme does not seem true: ON: 'echo 1 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/cdev0/cur_state' does nothing, it does not turn the fan on. But: 'cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp' does say 67000 Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

I think "lm-sensors" includes a "fancontrol" package, but be careful if you want to manually set the fan speed, because this parameter should be automatically adjusted by ACPI and cpufreqd. Ideally, running "acpi -V" will display more info about your thermal zones and current temperature trip points.

'acpi -v' reads; Battery 0: Charging, 0%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge., design capacity 4400 mAh AC Adapter 0: on-line Thermal 0: ok, 53.0 degrees C Thermal 1: ok, 69.0 degrees C Cooling 0: Processor 1 of 7 But I notice that /etc/rc2.d has 'S20fancontrol', I wonder what that does. I would just like to turn the fan on, since I never hear it. Hugo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
