thinkpad_acpi

I would like to know if this module is loaded by default or should i modprobe it?

Discovered it when installing thinkfan and noticed that my thinkpad t490 got quieter after loading the module.

Am i missing something?

Re: thinkpad_acpi

It should get autoloaded if the globs in the first output match any of the modaliases in the other two

modinfo thinkpad_acpi | grep alias
cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/*/modalias
cat /sys/class/dmi/id/modalias

You can just boot the system cold and check "lsmod | grep think" to see whether it's already loaded at this point.
