Fan Control ACPI Compaq 1700 Series Laptop - users - Fedora Mailing-Lists

Thursday, 4 November 2004

I can run FC3.2 and have fixed some of the problems auch as PCMCIA recognition.However,
the laptop shuts down due to lack of fan cooling(Thermal Shutdown - 95degC). If I reboot
immediately th fans work and system runs for hours. Start from cold it always shuts down.
The ACPI and DSDT implementation has the trip point and the cooling triggers for this
model wrong. Has anyone fixed this by any method other than installing a recompiled
kernel?
Or give me some details on inserting a fixed DSDT table. Everything I have read about it
is sketchy and designed to be read by advanced experts.
Thanks,
Morris
