Hi
My wife has an acer aspire one with ubuntu 11.04 on it. Every time it is upgraded I have fun and games with the fan.
Way back when I was provided with the following advice:
"Just create a file /etc/modprobe.d/acerhdf.conf
containing: options acerhdf interval=5 fanon=68000 fanoff=55000 kernelmode=1
then open a terminal and type sudo modprobe acerhdf"
This has to date worked but not for 11.04 and I suspect that might be because I have forgotten to type
I'm not sure what the command actually does, but would I be right (more or less) in guessing that the kernel module is lying dormant and that whilst I can put whatever configuration file I choose in there nothing will happen until I "activate" it with a one-off issue of the command? If that's not the case it would be nice if I could have a brief explanation as if I am messing about with kernel modules I would like to know what I am doing and why
Thanks
