Comment 11 for bug 57617

Hi,

I have a similar problem on the Amilo A7640W with Ubuntu 7.10.

The ACPI doesn't support FAN control

( I have disassembled the dsdt and no reference to the FAN from what I could see : http://pastebin.com/f11e37b0c )

My processor temperature is monitored by the K8temp driver (It's a Sempron 3000+).

the temp for the mobo ( I suppose ) is located at : /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/
the temp fro the proc is located at /sys/device/pci0000:00/0000:00:18.3/temp1_input

I am still in search of fan speed settings because I have realized my fan is spinning at 4 different speeds:

max speed when CPU temp is 75C / lower speed at 64C / lower speed at 61C / lowest speed at 54C.

However, I don't know yet what controls the speed and the fan is still very loud at its lowest speed.
