Comment 1 for bug 1468428

Similar problem here on Arch Linux. The BIOS is apparently setting the fan back to full speed after a suspend-resume cycle. i8kmon doesn't notice (even though it is constantly polling the fan speed) and therefore doesn't set the correct speed.

Here is a patch for i8kmon that decides whether to run i8kfan based on the actual reported fan speeds, rather than based on the last state that i8kmon thought it was in.
