hi,

you are right with the kernel stuff.

ibm-acpi is not needed for Speedstep or other, it is only needed to use
the FN-Keys and to control some leds, the fan and other stuff of the
embeded controller.

the fan script is here(was from this list, don't know the author):

init.d/fan
---------------------------------------------------
case "$1" in
  start)
        # make sure privileges don't persist across reboots
        if [ -d /var/run/fan ] && [ "x`ls /var/run/fan`" !=3D x ]
        then
                touch -t 198501010000 /var/run/fan/*
        fi
        /root/bin/fan.sh &
        ;;
  stop|reload|restart|force-reload)
        killall fan.sh
        echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
---------------------------------------------------


fan.sh
---------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

MAXTEMP=3D50

while [ 1 ];
do
    fan=3Dno
    for temp in `sed s/temperatures:// < /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal`
    do
        test $temp -gt $MAXTEMP && fan=3Dyes
    done

    command=3D'disable'
    test "$fan" =3D "yes" && command=3D'enable'
    echo $command > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
    sleep 20
done

---------------------------------------------------


you don't need the fan control script, if the fan don't bother you.



Try to learn some linux first and of cause using the archive of this
list, google and thinkwiki.org.
You will find all the information out there without bothering the
people, we explain this every week again and again.

Building an operation system without source code,
is like buying a  self assemble space shuttle without
instructions.
