Hi Dallas, I'm redirecting this to the list, in case it's useful for someone else. > Pardon my newbness, but after installing the tp-fancontrol script > in /usr/bin I get this when I try to run it: > > thinkpad:/home/string# tp-fancontrol > grep: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: No such file or directory > grep: /proc/acpi/ibm/fan: No such file or directory > 4270: old priority 0, new priority -10 > > Starting dynamic fan control > cat: /sys/block/hda/device/model: No such file or directory > > Shutting down, switching to automatic fan control > /usr/bin/tp-fancontrol: line 258: /proc/acpi/ibm/ecdump: No such file > or directory This means that the experimental switch for ibm-acpi isn't on yet. You need to add this line options ibm_acpi experimental=1 to /etc/modules.conf, so that it will happen on each reboot. To get this working before the next reboot, use modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1 as root. If you take a look at the link I sent earlier, you'll see a version of the tp-fancontrol script that's useful as a Debian init script; if you use that, you then need to make links in the various /etc/rc?.d directories so that it starts in the runlevels you want.
