I've installed current on a Vaio LX800 slimtop, configured ACPI and can turn the thing on and off with the "power" button. By the way, the 4.2R to -current upgrade was painless. Now I'd like to figure out how to turn the damn fan up and down. This machine is quiet under windows but sets the fan to high under FreeBSD and never turns it down. The fan has three settings - 0V, 6V and 12V. Under windows it stays between 0 and 6V. I've tried "apm -h 1; apm -e 1;" hoping something would happen but it still doesn't slow down the fan. If someone can sketch out a road map of what I should do I'll do the dirty work. I don't know about ACPI etc and so would appreciate a kick start. I've picked up the spec but haven't printed it out yet.
