[gentoo-user] Problem with CPU temperature (Santa Rosa CPU)

2007-10-09 Thread Marco Calviani
Hi list, i have a Santa Rosa (Core 2 Duo T7300) Acer AS5720 laptop, and i'm getting problems with the temperature of the CPU. In particular i'm using the coretemp module for determining the core temperature. Normally (using cpufreqd and the "ondemand" governor) the CPU stays at nearly 50C (whic

Hi Volker, yes i can imagine there could be something wrong with ACPI, but how can i recognize it? What is fancontrol? m > ACPI. You might be missing some options there. Or something else. Are you > using fancontrol? If yes, try without, if no, try with it ;) > -- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing

Hi Beso, sorry i misunderstood your suggestion. I did what you suggest and this is the result of the trip_points: critical (S5): 100C which i suppose is the reason why at that temperature the laptop switch off. So, nothing except for the critical state. Should i have to add there something

Hi Beso, i've tried with your trip_points modification but it gives this error: bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument like i'm not able to write on that file. And of course acpitool gives me a random ACPI temperature: Battery #1 : charged AC adapter : on-line Thermal zone 1

Hi Beso, i have an Acer Aspire 5720. I've tried with the acer_acpi, it compiles well but when it comes to loading it fails, saying "No or unsupported WMI interface, unable to load". However as far as i can understood, this module deals with issues of buttons and hotkey not with ACPI issues. Ye

As far as i know unfortunately the Travelmate 5720 exists, together with the entry level Aspire 5720... I've tried also the new version and the load error appears at the same level. I've mailed Carlos of acer-acpi, let's see what comes out. Thanks again for your help, i'll let you know about the i

Just to give a short update: 1) no luck with the acer_acpi module: it does not load in the system, as the developer is having a look at it. However he told me that the module can do practically nothing on the thermal zone since this last point is controlled fully by ACPI 2) i've tried to modify the

Beso, yes i'm always staying in powersave mode.. but in any case the CPU temperature tends to increase. I hope that the ACPI guys will work on this (hoping i'm not the only one experiencing these problems). The fans unfortunately are masked to the user in most Acer laptops, and they are cont
