 |
|
Hello,
I do not know if this is a hardware incompatibility or what, but I have ACPI enabled, except for the laptop stuff, as.. This isn't a laptop. When I do cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature it says
| Code: | darklabel@crypt darklabel $ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature
temperature: -270 C |
This cannot be right. When I go into my BIOS during startup it says around 43C usually. This is the first problem. The second problem is the fan. In Windows XP, when I boot up, as soon as I get to the login, the CPU fan slows down. In Linux it runs all the time, which is REALLY loud. I can turn it off using
| Code: | | echo -n 3 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN1/state |
Which makes it nice and quiet, and the fan is still running the same as after the login screen in Windows XP. Now in theory I should be able to control this, by making a cron script and then controlling it, but I can't turn the fan back up
| Code: | | echo -n 0 > /proc/acpi/fan/FAN1/state |
That is supposed to turn it back on (or up) But nothing happens, but when I do cat /proc/acpi/fan/FAN1/state it still says Status: On which is really weird... I would love to be able to turn it down and then monitor the temperature (at the correct temp) and make it turn back up when the heat goes up. Any ideas?  |

Here is the result of 'ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/
| Code: | darklabel@crypt darklabel $ ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/
THRM/ |
If you meant ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/ here it is
| Code: | darklabel@crypt darklabel $ ls /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM
cooling_mode polling_frequency state temperature trip_points |
cooling_mode says its <not supported>
polling_frequency says <polling disabled>
state says 'passive'
temperature says -270 C
trip_points says:
| Code: | darklabel@crypt THRM $ cat trip_points
critical (S5): -264 C
passive: -273 C: tc1=0 tc2=0 tsp=600 devices=0xdf77e740
active[0]: -267 C: devices=0xdf77e98 |
I am using the 2.6.4 kernel from kernel.org No Gentoo patches. I might try using gentoo-dev-sources (With the Gentoo patches) to see if this fixes any of my problems, if you suggest this. Thank you for responding. |
