## Fan control

**Acerhdf** [[1]](http://piie.net/?section=acerhdf) is a module you can load to control the fan-speed. Download the latest version, unpack it and follow instructions in the readme file. You probably need to add your bios-version in the config-file. Your bios-version is in the error message when you load the module. Add acerhdf in your rc.conf. If it doesn't work, you can also follow these instructions: [Acer Aspire One#acerhdf](/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One#acerhdf "Acer Aspire One")

## Troubleshooting

### Touchpad

If the touchpad becomes unresponsive, add the following: [[2]](https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=107583)

 `~/.xinitrc` 
```
xinput --set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Synaptics Two-Finger Pressure" 280

```

### Video playback

Trying to get it to work:

*   Multithreaded mplayer [mplayer-mt-lite-git](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mplayer-mt-lite-git/) does improve the situation but not solve the problem.
    *   mplayer -lavdopts threads=4 -vo gl2
*   [mplayer-coreavc-svn](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mplayer-coreavc-svn/) tries to install wine so I didn't test it
*   VA-API GPU Acceleration coming for GM45 around Q3 2010 [[3]](http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?p=135745).
    *   using aur/mplayer-vaapi mplayer -vo vaapi file should play the content with out a problem as soon as support arrives.
