Thinkwiki doesn't seem to have any info. Well, send me the DSDT and dmidecode output (mask off the UUID and serial numbers), and I will be able to say more. > ezr:pts/1; cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal > temperatures: 72 55 -128 65 40 -128 35 -128 51 53 -128 -128 -128 -128 > -128 -128 This is a highly unusual output for thinkpads, but might be the expected one for your X60, the X-series has always been a bit weird. I'd higly suggest asking for X60 thermal data from other X60 owners on the linux-thinkpad ML. Make sure to state your X60 model number, and to request that everyone does the same. > > You can also use /proc/acpi/ibm/fan to check the fan's state. And use the > > It's set to auto.

That said, people override the EC fan control all the time, because it seems not to be doing what people want. Thinkwiki has more on this, and you want to set your fan to level 7 when doing CPU-intensive work for now, since you are experiencing some sort of trouble anyway... -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
