Comment 24 for bug 484875

Hello,

If no-one care about his one (a 4 years old laptop series: If no-one cared before, I think that will remain!)... just setup the script hereupper for startup:
-copy it in /usr/local/bin/ which is a good location for such user stuff...
-setup rc.local to launch it at startup:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local

and add this line before "exit 0":
nohup /usr/local/bin/tosh_p100_ec.pl set_gpu_fan_med &

You can verify setup is done, after startup:
sudo sudo tosh_p100_ec.pl regs

You should see value "60" at offset 0x5E (array reading of offsets in output). If from time to times (games, high local temperatures...) you need more refresh, you can also setup rc.local with set_gpu_fan_hig parameter instead of set_gpu_fan_med

Be careful because at the beginning of my lucid migration, I expected the problem was corrected at the driver or acpi level because laptop was running cool: In fact, this is just because I had run windows before and some fan speed was already setup (variable) and probably not overwritten at ubuntu startup.

=> Use the script!

Maybe someone could make a deb package of this...
