I have a Toshiba laptop: Satellite L300, model PSLB8A-0FM004. I was running Ubuntu (2.6.28-15-generic) with kernel option acpi_osi="Linux". This option would allow the fan to spin down when not busy, without the option the fan would spin up and never spin down. i.e. acpi_osi="Linux" would allow "normal" fan behaviour.
I migrated to Debian (squeeze/sid (2.6.30-2-686)). The fan never spins down. I thought I would add acpi_osi="Linux" to see if that would spin the fan down as it did with the previous (older) Ubuntu Linux kernel. The fan did not spin down. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. James -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-laptop-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
