There is a module called fan in the acpi stuff that can be compiled in |
2 |
or the module is loaded. A second thing to try is to compile the |
3 |
kernel with apm support instead of ACPI and see if that helps. I |
4 |
don't know the specs for a T40 but I use a T42 and have had no |
5 |
problems with just ACPI. |

Also check out a module called ibm-acpi. Get the latest version |
8 |
through portage and that can give you control over your fan, at least |
9 |
manually turn it on and off but this might be helpful. |

If I can be of more help let me know, |
