Can you please check: - What happens if you don't use the ATI driver at all (please unload its kernel module before loading the kernel's radeon one)? - Does the loading of the radeon module trigger the fan automatically? - What happens if the fan module is not loaded at that time? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
