[Bug 960925] Re: cpu resources divided to graphic driver

[Atadam]

After mailing with the creator of k10temp.
Mr.Ladisch told me that the driver is read only and was very helpful to get me further.
Since whatever i do my Laptop uses 70°C as lowest trip_point and 95°C for emergency shutdown i decided to remove some packages in order to pinpoint the source.
I removed the following packages in the discribed order and restarted the Laptop after each removal.
lm-sensors
libsensors4
fancontrol
libsensors-applet-plugin0   got stuck on restart and needed hard reset
computertemp

until this point nothing changed whatsoever.

hddtemp
after removal fan speed changed to lowest or at a higher temperature (maybe 95°C) to full speed.

after reinstalling lm-sensors (i should have something to read the temperature)
the Laptop is again using 70°C as lowest trip_point 84°C as intermediate and shuts down at 95°C.
Since all these temperatures , except84°C,  are defined within hwmon i would have to guess that there is a routine mixing up values from hwmon and thermal_zone.

/sys/bus/acpi/drivers/thermal/LNXTHERM:01/thermal_zone
Values
trip_point6 48000 (not used)
trip_point5 57000 (not used)
trip_point4 75000  (Before reinstalling lm-sensors it was 69000 but cannot tell which package changed that)
trip_point3 84000 (used)
trip_point2 92000 (not used at all)
trip_point1 100000 = trip_point0 (never seen it because emergency shut-down at 95°C)

/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device
Values
temp1_max 70000 (used as trip_point6)
temp1_crit_hyst 95000 (used for emergency shut-down)

if anyone likes to take a look dsmeg is attached

Since all Ubuntu and friends seem to have overheating issues it might be
worth to find the script even if maverick is out of the picture.

i might remind that all started autumn last year (if i remember correct
mid September)

with best regards and thanks to all M.Peters

Title:
  cpu resources divided to graphic driver

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Since we had this summer over 45°C and my Laptop did not overheat i was just surprised that after the latest kernel update my Laptop started to do an emergency shutdown now and then. My first try was to change the fan settings in the Bios and oops there is no such thing. Only a choice where you might keep the fan running (I never shut of) or you allow it to shut down if it pleases to do so.  No temperature adjustment. After reading a bit HP site i found that they have a algorithm for fan control and it is obvious that is intended to keep the laptop silent.
  Though silence is not my main trouble but a fresh fried cpu is. 
  Has anybody a idea how to overcome the HP silent treatment and get some adjustment to temperature settings by making the fan work earlier.
  sensors tells me the following but all my feeble attempts to find and adjust it failed so far.

  acpitz-virtual-0
  Adapter: Virtual device
  temp1:       +56.1°C  (crit = +108.0°C)                  
  temp2:       +23.4°C  (crit = +108.0°C)                  

  k10temp-pci-00c3
  Adapter: PCI adapter
  temp1:       +56.1°C  (high = +70.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) 

  I'm good with Horses not with bites (too many teeth).
