Hi, I want to try the script to control the fan (the one to solve the=20
"always-on problem"), but after reading the wiki and so many mails with=20
changes to the script, I'm a bit confused about it.

Can anyone write down a stable script that would work on most TP ? I'm usin=
g=20
an R52 TP.

I went to http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/ACPI_fan_control_script and read the=20
simple script, but I guess it won't work on my Ubuntu Hoary because when I=
=20
run 'cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal', it says that the file does not exist, so=
=20
it won't be able to read the temperature, I guess.

I do have acpi installed, and when I run 'acpi -V' it shows:

Battery 1: charging, 92%, 00:25:39 until charged
Thermal 1: ok, 46.0 degrees C
AC Adapter 1: on-line

Can anyone tell me where to find the scripts for Ubuntu and R52, and=20
installation instructions in case I need extra packages?

Thanks!
