disablecart and fan
marlee opened this issue · 1 comments
Dell XPS l702x, nvidia GeForce GT 555M. Debian 64 Wheezy, Gnome.
I installed 'debumblebee', everything works fine (I had to change just xorg.conf.nvidia). I installed 'acpi_call' everything OK. I copied and this try 'disablecard' and 'enablecard' script also work OK, but the nvidia card off the fan will not turn off.
Oddly enough as I run the script as 'enablecard' fan immediately shuts down, then run the script 'disablecard' - fan is off, after some time the fan starts up and ... no longer be excluded.
Sorry, but the provided enable/deisablecard scripts works ONLY with ASUS K53SJ (laptop I'm using for development). Your laptop definitely uses other ACPI calls for turning off the nVidia card, so it's very bad idea to run these scripts on your system without modification. Which ACPI calls you need to use? No idea, without owning hardware I cannot help. Try dumping your ACPI tables and find required information from them.
