fantool does funny things on R40

[jerrawa]

My thinkpad get really warm and since i started uni i have been using it on my lap alot. I really want to be able to control the fan.

I have Downloaded and tried to use this tool(and the older versions) but it doesnt work properly.

When it starts it only displays the following tempps:CPU 55°C (0x78)
APS 10°C (0x79)
PCM 0°C (0x7a)
GPU 0°C (0x7b)
BAT 0°C (0x7c)
X7D 0°C (0x7d)
BAT 0°C (0x7e)
X7F 0°C (0x7f)
BUS 0°C (0xc0)
PCI 0°C (0xc1)
PWR 0°C (0xc2)
XC3 0°C (0xc3)

and when it runs it starts and stops every 5 seconds and sounds like it doesnt even get fully spinning before it stops and starts again.
the following is a bit from the log file

I also got the following errors earlier aswell

I am interested to hear what i could do to fix the problem and get it to work in my R40. perhaps it uses different addresses for the fan control? if so how can i find them for the R40 and change them in the source code.
I am also a budding c++ programmer(2nd year at uni), so if code needs to be changed - it probably best if someone else does that and tells me what was changed so i can learn something

thanks
