Is there any way to control the fan speed? I want to run my fan faster.
I have looked at thinkacpi but it looks like I would have to compile my own kernel and that is beyond me.
Thanks

I think he requires linux solution, your suggested is based on win.

I'm not sure if it still works on newer Thinkpads, but ....solidstate wrote:Is there any way to control the fan speed? I want to run my fan faster.

Pass "experimental=1" parameter when modprobing thinkpad-acpi. Your /proc/acpi/ibm/fan should get new help when you "cat" it - you should now be able to set fan speed manually by echo-ing an integer value (0-7 if I remember correctly) to it. Default is "auto".
