asus M5636NBP fan always on

[Matteo Sgalaberni]

Hello! I'm running debian sid on my asus M5636NBP.

Kernel 2.6.13.2 patched with Suspend2 2.2-rc7

My fan it's always on.. only if I put the laptop outside with the 
snow...when it' reach 20 celsius the fan stops...

cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
critical (S5):           115 C
passive:                 105 C: tc1=2 tc2=10 tsp=100 devices=0xc14706a0
active[0]:               20 C: devices=0xc1477480

I tryed to change this settings echoing new values but no feedback by 
the fan..
I tryed to set /proc/acpi/fan/FN00/state to 1, 2 ,3 ,4 but no feedback...

I have alse loaded the module asus-acpi
asus_acpi              11540  0
(it seems not used...)

# acpi -V
     Battery 1: charged, 100%
     Thermal 1: active[0], 43.0 degrees C
  AC Adapter 1: on-line

My battery now reach max 1 hour of uptime... i think that it's a low time...

Have you some ideas?

Thanks

Matteo

Try vanilla 2.6.14.

Well, your trip_points say this is right behaviour. Why do you want to
change it.

try echo -n "1:2:3:4:5" > trip_points.

or more specific:
echo -n "115:0:105:xx:0" > trip_points
the values are "critical:hot:passive:active0:active1:active2:..." and you
need to give at least 5 values, even though this machine has no "hot" and
no "active[1]" trip point.
