Cannot control the fan on a Sony Vaio laptop
- by Xobb
I've got Sony Vaio laptop and my fan is on all the time, though the temperature on the video-adapter is always over 60°?.
As I've googled, vaiofand does not support VPC-EA series.
Is there anything I can do with that or I need another laptop?
I'm using the following graphics card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series] though the problem is not with the graphics card.
I've mentioned its temperature as the highest (64°C now btw). Seems like the notebook is always overheated and I cannot control the fan speed to make it cooler. And yes, I'm using the proprietary driver ATI/AMD FGLRX graphics driver.
I'm using Kubuntu 11.04.
