Comment 17 for bug 24308

I did have acpid running. I killed acpid and my script and did "cat
/proc/acpi/event" and ran glxgears.

No events at all appeared. I then restarted my script which reported a
temperature of 60 degrees for TZ1. When the script started the fan kicked in
immediately and I saw an event

thermal_zone TZ1 00000081 00000000

... and when the fan stopped it printed the same thing again.

# cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points

I don't know if you're aware of some of the patches that were posted by a couple
of Intel's ACPI guys in the bug at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534 . In any case, no one has
reported that the patches solved their problems.
