------- Comment #16 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2008-10-16 23:45 ------- Jon, re: comment #13 if you succeed in overriding the trip point, your setting will be visible in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points in the case of thermal.nocrt, the trip point is unchanged, but the trip action is ignored. In the case of thermal.crt=-1, the trip point will simply vanish from the files above. in the case of thermal.crt=N, it will be set to N The change here is the ability to make N higher than the BIOS default. The problem with reasoning "bumping up critical is less dangerous than disabling critical" is that bumping up the critical trip point may actually just give you the illusion of control that you don't actually have. ie. the EC decides when/if to send a thermal event which is what we use to compare the temperature to the trip points. There is absolutely no assurance that the EC will do this near the new fake trip point. and... "The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance -- it is the illusion of knowledge." so i don't really like it, but i'll apply the patch in commment #7 to 'keep the customer satisfied':-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
