@Jamie -- ok according to upstream this thinkpad-acpi driver is essentially unchanged, and the fans really should be controlled by the EC in the defualt mode. There is no logical reason to expect this change in behaviour. We are going to have to try and narrow down where this change has come from. Could you test some of the mainline kerenls, specifically including the v2.6.35 and v2.6.38 kernels to see if they are good and bad respectivly, and then could you use a few of the intermediate releases and -rcs to narrow our search. Mainline kernels can be found at the URL below. Please report any testing here:
