[ltp] Fan always on problem... does it happen on R52 with the Intel Media Gr

[Ovidiu Achim]

Thanks for your answer.

3088 is the speed of the fan and it's the lowest. Higher speeds are
3500 or 3700 reached when GPU temperature get higher than 62 C for
example. The fan is off when the the value reported is 'off'.

But indeed the temperatures reported by IBM-ACPI on your system are
low. Especially the CPU temperature and GPU temperature. For me the
CPU temperature is, in the best case, 41C and GPU is around 56C. PCI
module is always higher than 46C.

Would you attach your xorg.conf + kernel config? Also lsmod?

Thanks,
amo
