Thanks for the hint. I was not aware of this experimental-option.
Unfortunately the ibm-acpi-version in the 2.6.11.11 is quite old. so I

The webpage says that my model supports those fan-thing now...

Let's see, if doom3 runs with that speed *g

Thank you for your help, I will keep you (and the list) up to date with
