Re: active[0] being ignored

[Mirco Jeske <m.jeske@web.de>]

Hi again,
I read many articles about my A3G and found some windows users who were
be able to exactly control the point of activation for the fan.
Therefore I think it must be possible for linux users to do the same.
The activation of my fan has something to do with CPU usage, every time
the CPU is being charged the fan starts cooling. Even this this would
mean for just one single second. The fan goes on and of but the CPU's
usage never goes above 10% or so. Now I would like the fan to ignore CPU
usage and only listen to the temp points. I don't know how to do it.

Please, can anybody help me out.....?

Thank you so much,
Mirco
