Re: sony tx1xp fan control
thanks for the help...
> Do you have a 'fan' module loaded?
yup. /proc/acpi/fan exists, it is just empty
my/may not be relevent, but /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0 has a number of files
# more cooling_mode
<setting not supported>
cooling mode: passive
# more polling_frequency
<polling disabled>
# more temperature
temperature: 61 C
It seems 61 is it's normal temp, although it does increase if the
machine is really made to dance.
plus a few other files. The passive cooling and polling disabled made
me wonder if this is all being controlled via the bios and as such
beyond my control? The bios itself shows nothing about fan control
settings when I looked.
