[ltp] DPMS and fan problem on t23

[Khosrow Hassani]

Hi all,
finally, thank to your great suggestions, I got acpi
sort of working on my Thinkpad T23 using
Debain-patched kernel 2.6.10. 
the problem is that my /proc/acpi/fan directory is
empty!
acpi did not detect my fan. in other words,
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM0/state always shows OK! my
fan is controlled by the BIOS which is the newest
version, 1.18. I think it just works too often! it
broke once and I had to have it replaced (I was lucky
my computer was still covered by IBM warranty!). I am
scared if it keeps working like this, it is going to
break again!

I have another problem with DPMS:

when I press Fn-F3, acpid does not catch the event!!
my /etc/acpi/events/fn3 file reads these two lines:

event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001003
action=/etc/acpi/actions/fn3.sh

and here is my /etc/acpi/actions/fn3.sh:

xset +dpms
xset dpms force off

suprisingly, if I run this script directly from the
shell command line, it works just fine!

any idea?

 thanks,
 Khosrow
