to thinkpaders,about tp-fancontrol

from a certain version of thinkpad_acpi,fan_control is disabled by default,as Documentation/thinkpad-acpi.txt said:

NOTE NOTE NOTE: fan control operations are disabled by default for
safety reasons. To enable them, the module parameter "fan_control=1"
must be given to thinkpad-acpi.

so the tp-fancontrol daemon won't work any more if the thinkpad_acpi module isn't told that it should enable the fan_control.

let's do that:

#vim /etc/modules.d/thinkpad_acpi

then add the following line:
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1

:wq

#update-modules

now tp-fancontrol should work again.
