[ACPI-sppt] fan problem with Samsung VM7000

Hello,

I am using 2.4.22 on a Samsung VM7000 laptop (Pentium-III 700, Intel 440MX
chipset).

I need to use "acpi=force" (it complains about ACPI date being from '00 - I
have the newest BIOS from Samsung), and "pci=noacpi" (otherwise, cardbus
interrupts seem to be missing).

So far, this works fine - however, it seems the CPU fan is not controlled
anymore: it stays the way (on or off) it was when Linux was started - which
means if it was off, the system gets too hot under load.

There is no nothin in /proc/acpi/fan or /proc/acpi/thermal_zone.

When using APM, the fan is turned on/off as needed.

Any idea where I should look, or what other information I should post?

cu
Michael
