This is a Linux ACPI driver for the IBM ThinkPad laptops. It supports
various features of these laptops which are accessible through the
ACPI framework but not otherwise supported by the generic Linux ACPI
drivers.

Status
......@@ -638,6 +639,26 @@ The ThinkPad's ACPI DSDT code will reprogram the fan on its own when
certain conditions are met. It will override any fan programming done
through ibm-acpi.
The ibm-acpi kernel driver can be programmed to revert the fan level
to a safe setting if userspace does not issue one of the fan commands:
"enable", "disable", "level" or "watchdog" within a configurable
ammount of time. To do this, use the "watchdog" command.
echo 'watchdog <interval>' > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan
Interval is the ammount of time in seconds to wait for one of the
above mentioned fan commands before reseting the fan level to a safe
one. If set to zero, the watchdog is disabled (default). When the
watchdog timer runs out, it does the exact equivalent of the "enable"
fan command.
Note that the watchdog timer stops after it enables the fan. It will
be rearmed again automatically (using the same interval) when one of
the above mentioned fan commands is received. The fan watchdog is,
therefore, not suitable to protect against fan mode changes made
through means other than the "enable", "disable", and "level" fan
commands.

Example Configuration
---------------------
The ACPI support in the kernel is intended to be used in conjunction
with a user-space daemon, acpid. The configuration files for this
daemon control what actions are taken in response to various ACPI
events. An example set of configuration files are included in the
config/ directory of the tarball package available on the web
site. Note that these are provided for illustration purposes only and
may need to be adapted to your particular setup.
The following utility scripts are used by the example action
scripts (included with ibm-acpi for completeness):
/usr/local/sbin/idectl -- from the hdparm source distribution,
see http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/hardware
/usr/local/sbin/laptop_mode -- from the Linux kernel source
distribution, see Documentation/laptop-mode.txt
/sbin/service -- comes with Redhat/Fedora distributions
/usr/sbin/hibernate -- from the Software Suspend 2 distribution,
see http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/
Toan T Nguyen <ntt@physics.ucla.edu> notes that Suse uses the
powersave program to suspend ('powersave --suspend-to-ram') or
hibernate ('powersave --suspend-to-disk'). This means that the
hibernate script is not needed on that distribution.
Henrik Brix Andersen <brix@gentoo.org> has written a Gentoo ACPI event
handler script for the X31. You can get the latest version from
http://dev.gentoo.org/~brix/files/x31.sh
David Schweikert <dws@ee.eth.ch> has written an alternative blank.sh
script which works on Debian systems. This scripts has now been
extended to also work on Fedora systems and included as the default
blank.sh in the distribution.
