Usually, "sensors-detect" gives you some tips for loading the right modules for your board and once you load them, starts working. > 'acpi -v' reads; > Battery 0: Charging, 0%, charging at zero rate - will never fully > charge., design capacity 4400 mAh > AC Adapter 0: on-line > Thermal 0: ok, 53.0 degrees C > Thermal 1: ok, 69.0 degrees C > Cooling 0: Processor 1 of 7 > > But I notice that /etc/rc2.d has 'S20fancontrol', I wonder what that > does. I would just like to turn the fan on, since I never hear it. Maybe that "fancontrol" is the service provided by lm-sensors, but not sure :-? I would try first to get an accurate temperature measure for the CPU (69° C is a bit high, even for a laptop, but not critical -that depends on the microprocessor type-). Are you able to get these values from BIOS? Just to make a comparison... Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
