I have an ASUS A3843GLP driving with a 2.9.11 kernel. I patched the=20 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=20 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=20 but ignored. Fan still runs even if temperature of CPU is below 50=B0C For testing I installed Windows and got the fan deactivated using=20 SpeedswitchXP (Power4Gear didn't make it for me). Since I had no=20 experience with ASUS notenooks I now know that it is possible to=20 throttle down the CPU to 600 MHz and having the fan NOT working. So, is=20 there a way to configure acpi that this is also possible with Linux? thanx for help, Mirco ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
