[SOLVED] How to set up "thinkfan" on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430?
#12
Also this says to me that lm-sensors is not the best solution.

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_sensors

Quote:Basic ACPI system temperature sensors

The primary means of accessing the thermal sensors is through the thinkpad-acpi module, up to 16 sensors are supported. When the module is loaded, the sensors (some of which may be inactive) are shown through the standard sysfs hwmon interface used by the lm-sensors utilities, and also in /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal (which is deprecated and has been removed from the latest versions of the module).

lm-sensors/libsensors uses the hwmon interface exposed through /sys/bus/platform/devices/thinkpad_hwmon/ to read the temperatures, note that the sysfs interface returns normal open errors instead of weird values for sensors that are not active (which the simplistic sensors command ignore). lm-sensors/libsensors can be configured to give proper names to each sensor, which will be used by any properly written sensor applet.

So naturally my question is how do I get thinkpad-acpi module to work?
