Breezed is a small daemon to control the speed of the fan,
- depending on the current temperature of the computer. I have tested
- it only on a Thinkpad X61s.
+ depending on the current temperature of the computer.
+
+ DISCLAIMER: I have tested it only on my Thinkpads (X61s, T420s, and
+ T450s) with Debian stable.
* INSTALLATION
- You can install it simply by running as root
+ Before installing, you must have a configuration file in
+ /etc/breezed.conf.
+
+ Three configuration files are provided, and correspond to the
+ settings *I* picked for my Lenovo Thinkpads. I guess they are okay
+ on these machines since I have been using them for years without
+ any particular problems, but I have no idea how this translates to
+ other laptops.
+
+ If you want to give it a try, just copy of the configuration file,
+ e.g.
+
+ cp breezed_Lenovo_X61s.conf /etc/breezed.conf
+
+ Then install the daemon on a systemd machine simply with
- ./install.sh
+ make install
- and de-install it with
+ and uninstall it with
- ./remove.sh
+ make uninstall
- You must have a configuration file in /etc/breezed.conf. Only one
- is currently provided in the archive, and it corresponds to the
- settings _I_ picked for _my_ Lenovo X61s. I have no idea if these
- settings are safe on this laptop (I guess so, since I have been
- using them for a few months now and it works perfectly), and I
- suspect they are not safe for another laptop.
+ Use respectively install-sysv and uninstall-sysv to install it
+ through /etc/init.d.
See the man page for details about the algorithm, arguments and
configuration file.
* NOTES
On Thinkpads you have to allow the module thinkpad_acpi to set the
- fan speed, which is not allowed by default in Debian. To do so, you
- have to have a file /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.modprobe
- containing
+ fan speed, which is not allowed by default in Debian. To do so, add
+ a file /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf containing
