and I don't know if I can (how my computer control the fan without
ACPI ?)
Is your machine a sibling of Inspiron 8200?

Perhaps you may not waste your time by attempting Fan control through ACPI, and do:
- ask your make to provide the equivalent for "Dell-laptop driver" on Linux, but it will not happen so easily...
- write a small driver of your own which directly uses SMBus for Fan control, but again only limited information for Fan control is supplied, no?
Does anyone know if "lm_sensors" stuff works for roychris? Is it just for monitoring purpose only? Or am I completely off base?
Thanks,
- Adachi, Kenichi
