kernel 2.6.6 & acpi

I have a Sony Vaio desktop that I'd love to get the fan to quiet down.
I'm running widget w/ kernel 2.6.6 nothing custom. Most of the info.
I find is on patching older kernels. I don't have acpi or acpid packages installed.
I thought ( or from what info I've found ) is that acpi is stock for 2.6

$ dmesg | grep -i acpi

I'm guessing acpi would be key in getting some control over the fan speen. How do I get
acpi functioning

Re: kernel 2.6.6 & acpi

IIRC, I believe that you can find it somewhere in the Kernel Hacking options, or something like that...I can't remember where, exactly. I'm pretty sure that in the list, they were in a group near the bottom of all of the features...however, that might mean that you'd have to compile your own custom kernel to do so.

Wish I could help more, but that's all I directly remember. Sorry. :x

Re: kernel 2.6.6 & acpi

Let me know if that works for you.  I also have a Vaio desktop that wants to fly off my desk using fan power when I boot in linux.  I have tried a few kernel options like that with no success.  If someone finds the solution, could you please make a note of it here.

Thanks
