I'm a rank amateur at serious kernel stuff, so I'm coming to you folks. My Thinkpad T61 puts off lots of heat. I lift it up and it's VERY hot. I fear for its health. I'm going to reapply thermal grease, but I've found a page that talks about a driver here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thinkpad-acpi  With this driver installed I can supposedly install software that will control the fan. Can I get some coaching on how to install this driver?
