Of course thats weird. But I see no thinkfan entry in the syslog and also "=
dmesg | grep thinkfan" returns nothing. Nevertheless when I stop thinkfan a=
nd do a "sudo thinkfan -n" I can recognize that the fan does not run as oft=
en as without thinkfan. But the temperatures are not the ones that I have s=
pecified.

Anybody here around who can understand this?
