 Fan Control kernel module for Acer Aspire One laptopI've been using the acerfand script to get the fan to shut off when the CPU temperature is low (by default, the fan is on all the time), but this is supposed to be a better solution. I prebuilt the driver file and added it to the source (it's the .ko file, and works only with the 32 bit Mepis 2.6.27-1 kernel)
The standard install would be
A command to install it that doesn't use make is
acerhdf More information is in the READ_ME file. The default behaviour will now be for the fan to stay off until the CPU hits 67 C, then turn back off once it cools to 62 C. If you have previously installed acerfand, you should remove it from /usr/local/bin, or wherever you have put it.

Is this only for Acer machines.
My HP 1115 has the same problem, no fan in WinXP, runs full speed on M8. Really annoying and glad I opted for dual boot over VM.

Unfortunately, it's specifically for the hardware on the Acer Aspire One.
I couldn't any reference on the net to an HP 1115 laptop--is that the correct model number? Somewhere, there may be a hack to quiet the fan...though if it uses a hot CPU, you may be stuck. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |

don't think it runs hot, somewhat warm, and XP has never ramped it up. thanks for the help, i did try some from a post a few weeks back but with my poor hearing, not much change. _________________ --Trey Pattillo --Registered Linux User #404804 If you want a computer that works just, use Microsoft.

If you click on the Kpowersave Icon on the task bar, you should be able to see how fast the CPU is running. I don't know what CPU is in your lappy, but this should tell you
su -c "hwinfo --cpu" If it supports Dynamic CPU Scaling, it may be working in Windows, and just stuck on high speed in Mepis. Maybe some tweaking can fix that. Another possiblity is that some process is using all the CPU it can..the command "top" in a terminal will show you the worst offenders. Hit the "q" key to stop top before closing the terminal window, otherwise it may continue to run in the background. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |
