I have a thinkpad x390 yoga and I can't seem to control or read the fan speed, I have a gui installed for thinkfan and when I click "full_speed" I get an error : (please check that /etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.conf contains "options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1").

I have checked that file and it has that line, so I'm not sure what to do.

make sure the line in the conf file isn't commented out.

#

it's possible your fan or motherboard doesnt use a sensor. You can confirm by looking in the BIOS screens.

It's not commented out.

#

What should I look for in the bios.

*?

#

if it's a fancy uefi type one, it ought to show a fan graphic with spinning fan blades, and a temperature value

#

else check the basic or main category, it may say textwise

#

if no mention at all, it doesnt have a sensor.
