x230 and tpfand not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am using tpfand under ubuntu 14.04 and the version installed is 0.95.3.

When starting it shows up with
tpfand 0.95.3 - Copyright (C) 2011-2012 Vladyslav Shtabovenko

             Please make sure you are root and a recent
             thinkpad_acpi module is loaded with fan_control=1
             If thinkpad_acpi is already loaded, check that
             /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal exists. Thinkpad models
             that doesn't have this file are currently unsupported

If I do 
lsmod | grep thinkpad
thinkpad_acpi          81013  1 
nvram                  14411  1 thinkpad_acpi

_rawmidi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,thinkpad_acpi,snd_seq_device,snd_seq_midi

acpi seems running but still not file available.

I used thinkfan before which had the same mistake but fixed it by changing the 
config file to use this sensors
find /sys/devices -type f -name "temp*_input"
/sys/devices/virtual/hwmon/hwmon0/temp1_input
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp3_input
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp1_input
/sys/devices/platform/coretemp.0/temp2_input


is there any chance to get a fixed version - as it seems you did for the x220

thanks

It should be possible to apply the same fix, as that is for newer thinkpads in 
general, not just the X220
