Re: Re: acpi on medion laptop

[Nicolas Olivero]

hello, 
first thanks for trying to help me....
I compiled both kernel 2.4.23 and 2.6.0 but i still have the same problem.
acpi works for my battery, i can see its level, but i can't see the thermal, fan informations :( 
another idea to resolve my problem?

does it mean that my processor is in danger? i think my fan works less often than before without acpi...

thanks for any help!

are you checking the files under /proc/acpi, or only using
/usr/bin/acpi? Maybe the information is there, only the program is too
old to read it correctly? Also, which version of 2.6.0 are you using?
I think there were some ACPI fixes in the recently released
2.6.0-test8.

Cheers
Robert

You can also try to modify your DSDT. Take a look to acpi.sf.net. Read 
all sections. Try advices. I have spent lots of time before set up my 
laptop :)

Your processor support C2, so it is a little bit more cooled when going
to the idle loop if you do not enable acpi.

There is also good chance that your dsdt do not have any kind of
thermal support from acpi point-of-view.
