I had a look around inside of these files, and didn't really find anything useful. I will have a look at the link to kernel documentation that you provided to see what I can learn from it. As far as the fans, there is only one cooling fan on the laptop. It runs at at least two speeds, high or low but maybe more, depending on temperature output inside the laptop. The problem was with earlier kernels that it doesn't start the fan up at all, later ones are sort of hit or miss at high temperatures. I think that I may have been providing the last few replies for bash command results from 11.4, where the fan works with these 3.2.10 and 3.3.x kernels. I will repeat the commands with 12.1 and post them here for you to look over and compare the results. Maybe something obvious will stand out. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
