I've applied the patch to a 6.0-REL system > running on a Thinkpad T43 and the fan control works great :) Dito on my T43p with 6.0-STABLE. Thanks a lot! One question though: Why is the default set to manual/fullspeed instead of automatically? Provided that without the patch, the behaviour would be equal to automatic mode, this breaks POLA and people might complain, or worse, send their thinkpads to Lenovo for repair, since they don't know why the fan is now constantly on full speed. And of course, my next step will now be coming up with a reasonable way of making sure that I don't fry my notebook. Some integration into powerd comes to mind. Of course this would not be necessary if Lenovo had used a reasonable default stepping in the automatic mode in the first place.
