Hello!

I have some problems witn cooling fan in my Vibrant LS.
The cooling fan is too noisy and it is really disturbing
especialy if you work in a quiet place.

I have problem with my cooling fan under Linux.
I've installed SuSE Linux 6.4 on my machine and
everything works just fine except cooling fan control.
If the fan is on during the boot when Linux is started,
then the fan couldn't turn off and remains turned on all the time.
It is the same, if the fan is turned off at boot time, then
remains turned off all the time.

I've already compiled the kernel 2.2.16 with advanced power management
support and I can use all the functions (suspend to disk or RAM,...)
which it offers, but I couldn't find the solution for
cooling fan.

Each suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Janez from Slovenia
