Subject: Problems with ASUS A3G

Message-ID: <42443A0F.1090601@foni.net> (raw)

Hi,

I'm new to that list, so thank you for reading this.

I have an ASUS A3843GLP  driving with a 2.9.11 kernel. I patched the 
kernel as mentioned on http://acpi.sourceforge.net/download.html
Problems are:
- fan almost always running on lowest level
- speed step control fails when using kpowerd (no speed step, CPU runs 
on 1700 MHz all the time, but acpi -V reports that the CPU runs on 50%)
- writing different temperature levels to the thermalzone is accepted 
but ignored. Fan still runs even if temperature of CPU is below 50°C

For testing I installed Windows and got the fan deactivated using 
SpeedswitchXP (Power4Gear didn't make it for me). Since I had no 
experience with ASUS notenooks I now know that it is possible to 
throttle down the CPU to 600 MHz and having the fan NOT working. So, is 
there a way to configure acpi that this is also possible with Linux?

thanx for help,
Mirco
