SOLVED (partially): Toshiba fan (Etch, Tecra 8100)

[Mirto Silvio Busico <mbusico@technip.com>]

Well, my laptop is not supported but I suppose a P30 is similar to a P20
so I tried:

modprobe omnibook ectype=11

Now in messages I see:
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: Driver version 2.20070211-trunk.
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: Forced load with EC type 11.
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: LCD backlight turn off at
console blanking is enabled.
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: Enabling all hotkeys.
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: Assuming that LCD brightness is
between 0 and 10,
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: please contact
http://sourceforge.net/projects/omnibook to confirm.
Nov 14 19:46:18 msb01 kernel: omnibook: Enabled features: blank display
fan hotkeys dmi version lcd temperature touchpad.

And in /proc/omnibook I have:
msb01:/proc/omnibook# ls
blank  display  dmi  fan  hotkeys  lcd  temperature  touchpad  version
msb01:/proc/omnibook# ls -l
totale 0

-r--r--r-- 1 root root 0 2007-11-14 19:47 version
msb01:/proc/omnibook# cat fan
Fan is on (level 39)
msb01:/proc/omnibook# cat temperature
CPU temperature:            53 C


Now the problem is to find documentation on what I have to write in the
fan file in order to increase the fan speed.

Thanks
