A while ago I started to use thinkfan to control the fan speed of my lenovo thinkpad. This became necessary as it stoped working after a kernel update (I think it came with the installation of a v3.7 kernel with xorg-edgers) and I got thermal errors which crashed the system.
Then, with thinkfan installed, my system worked for months. But since yesterday after an update of xorg-edgers (please don't ask my why I have to use that, I really have to) I got thermal crashes again.
At the same time the fan started to make some noise (not that it was running fast, probably rather too slow). Obviously thinkfan stoped working with the new kernel.
Any information available about fan control in recent kernels? Maybe the acpi report of the temperature is wrong now? The thinkfan configuration is as described in http://thinkwiki.de/Thinkfan (it didn't change with the update I think).
