[ltp] fan control script reading 65535 RPM

[Andrew Barr]

Hi,

I'm trying out the fan control script[1], and it is driving me crazy:
after about three reads it always returns a fan RPM of 65535. I thought
this was because the embedded controller was being polled too often, but
removing ibm-acpi panel applets and increasing the poll interval to 5
did not fix this. Is this a problem or should I just ignore this? It
seems to work otherwise.
