I have bought an IBM ThinkPad R50 and installed Linux on it (Suse
9.1). I have noticed that the fan never stops spinning which is pretty
disturbing because it makes a lot of noise. If I use Windows as
operating system, the problem does not occur : the fan runs really
rarely.

I just would like to know how it would be possible to avoid the fan
being turned on unnecessarily. I have noticed that on the IBM R40 the
problem does not occur.
Should I change something to the ACPI ? And if yes, how  ? I have
turned off the ACPI and used APM and it still runs unnecessarily. Note
also that the same problem occurs with Suse 9.0.

Thanks for the answer.
