After loading this driver the BIOS is still in control of the fan.
To let the kernel handle the fan, do:
- echo -n enabled > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/mode
+ echo -n enabled > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zoneN/mode
+ where N=0,1,2... depending on the number of thermal nodes and the
+ detection order of your particular system. The "type" parameter
+ in the same node directory will tell you if it is "acerhdf".
