This is for debugging only or also to workaround ThinkPads with bad EC firmware which potentially leads to overheats? AFAIK fans on newer models are controlled via EC firmware. You can influence the control via direct EC writes which should only be called by the original DSDT's AML code provided by BIOS. Adding code that overrides the way the fan is intended to be controlled for problematic models or by monitoring temperature sounds complicated and risky. (not sure whether this is what you want to do..). Thanks, Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
