Lubuntu: acerhdf.conf

[John Hupp]

I wanted to drop a line merely to say that I have also been interested 
in the general problem of fan control and am trying to work my way back 
into the question now.

The Lenovo 3000 C200 laptop that I'm working with now does not have any 
exposed BIOS settings for this, so monitor/control via the OS is the 
only option.

It's running an Intel T2080 dual-core and the Intel Mobile 945GM Express 
chipset.  Lubuntu 14.04 32-bit is the OS.

Lubuntu has the lxpanel temperature monitor, which I installed, but that 
only allows one to see that the computer is running hotter than 
desired.  I think it worked successfully even before I installed 
lm-sensors and added the coretemp module (next).

Next I installed lm-sensors, ran sudo sensors-detect, accepted all the 
defaults, and had it automatically add coretemp to /etc/modules.  After 
a reboot 'lsmod | grep coretemp' reports that the module is loaded.

Then running sensors in a terminal confirms the current temperature 
displayed by the lxpanel applet.

That's where I am now, and I'm reading stuff at lm-sensors.org.

(I also started working this problem on a Dell a while back, but 
i8kutils specifically targets Dells and their challenges -- and happens 
to work on some other makes and models.  So I think I was working on it 
with i8kutils rather than lmsensors.  Then I had to break off and do 
something else and never got where I wanted to go, though I had some 
success.)
