Greetings list,
My thinkpad x60 1706-BS8 overheats while compiling/rendering if
/proc/acpi/ibm/fan is set to "auto".
I have been running Lenny for quite some time and it used to be fine.
The problems started sometime this autumn, perhaps around the kernel
upgrade. The way I currently get around the problem is by issuing
echo level disengaged > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
Unfortunately I sometimes forget to do this when starting a compile or
a rendering which results in the computer shutting down.
Is there a way of setting the max speed for "level auto" to a higher
setting or enabling "level disengaged" when the temperature reaches a
certain level?
And just out of curiosity are anyone aware of what changes might have
caused the problem.
Thanks
I am curious as well how to make this happen. What temps are you
getting when it shuts down? I've seen my T61 get as hot as 158F/70C and
still hadn't shutdown. With normal working temps around 102F/39C.
ThinkWiki has the following.
