    BSDFan, a simple fan control utility for ThinkPads

    Sorry it took a while, life got in the way, apparently hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature returns Celsius using /usr/sbin/sysctl but when doing a sysctl in C it returns Kelvin. I have no idea if it's intentional or wrong but anyways I made some changes and it should work now. I tested it here and...

    BSDFan, a simple fan control utility for ThinkPads

    Ok, I can't even build it from here, you could try to get the latest version, add a printf("Temp: %d",cur_temp); at the end of bsdfan.c right before oldtemp = cur_temp; in the while loop. Build, launch without -d and let's see what's the output.

    BSDFan, a simple fan control utility for ThinkPads

    Ah! I don't know how I missed it in the other post, it seems like you lack dev.acpi_ibm.0.thermal, which is where it gets the temperatures from, I'm not sure why (hardware not fully supported by the driver perhaps?), I could look at hw.acpi.thermal.tz0.temperature instead but I suggest you first...

    Could you show me your bsdfan.conf?

    BSDFan, a simple fan control utility for ThinkPads

    Sorry for the late reply, could you try and start it not in daemon mode and see if there are any errors? Also post your configuration and sysctl dev.acpi_ibm before and while it's running. I can't seem to reproduce it here.

    BSDFan, a simple fan control utility for ThinkPads

    If you've ever used FreeBSD (or any other BSD for that matter) on a ThinkPad you might have noticed the loud and erratic behavior of the fan. I've written a small utility as per title to manage the fan and improve silence, coolness and battery life. If anyone finds it useful I'll make a port for...

    Install KDE with pkg fails

    Yes, wait for the Temporary New Xorg repo (more info here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Graphics), build from source, or try what's suggested here: http://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=45884 .

    How to install kde on FreeBSD 10 (newby)

    It's not unkown reasons, it's just that some ports depend on WITH_NEW_XORG which at the moment is not the default so they fail to build, someone is working to set up a repo for that but I have no clue on when it'll be ready. In regards to OP question, a quick and easy way could be do download...

    AMD FX, powerd, hwpstate

    It should be fixed now in 10.0. Just wait for RC1 or use a recent snapshot. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=167018

    acpi_call Nvidia Optimus

    There's no problem, sorry if it was unclear but I wrote it late at night. I just wanted to inform those that have an Optimus Nvidia laptop that it looks like it's possible to turn it off using the sysutils/acpi_call port, but I succeeded only on my first attempt. Later attempts have always...

    acpi_call Nvidia Optimus

    Hello everyone I'm new to FreeBSD and really want to run it on my NVidia optiums laptop so I took 9.1 RC1 for a spin and tried playing around with the sysutils/acpi_call port and the ACPI method I used under Linux to turn off my Nvidia video card. The first time I tried it just worked. It output...
