Hello all,
I'm trying to help out on the Laptop forum on fan control.
How does one control the fan on a ThinkPad now that /proc/acpi/ibm is
missing after running update?
Cheers!

Use the proper sysfs files instead.
What tool is not yet converted to use these files? They have been there
for _years_.

I'll probably never buy anything but Lenovo again. They rock.
Thinkpads especially. I never control the fan manually, the EC
(embedded controller) takes care of that.
Make sure you use the latest BIOS. My T520 with a mid/high-end i7 runs
at 114F most of the time, nearly silently, with outstanding battery
life.
Outstanding, A+, would buy again. :-)

There're one or two places already to talk about Thinkpad and Linux like
the thinkwiki. I suggest to link to those and only keep openSUSE specific
stuff here,

Agreed. I am constantly helping out on the forum with openSUSE and
laptops. I'm presently trying to put together a QA for the wiki.
People can email me directly.
Sorry about that.

Not just the fact that from six laptops five had fatal hw errors (can

Next time: IBM/Lenovo for me!

My IdeaPad Z470 works perfectly under openSUSE 12.1.
The only thing I noticed is that multimedia buttons are not fully
responsive yet, but I can adjust volume by keyboard Fn key.
I would like to know if somebody tried to set the acpi.conf in order to
control the Fan of this laptop.

Use the proper sysfs files instead.
What tool is not yet converted to use these files? They have been
there
for _years_.
Since the fan control is disabled by default. It's just a matter of
creating a
/etc/modprobe.d/50-thinkpad_acpi.conf file and enabling it by adding
the following line:
fan_control=1
