Yeah, but on my laptop, the fans are controlled only by temperature. According to "acpi", the fans can be in 3 states: active, passive, and "ok" - these are cooling modes. It seems when I boot, Everything starts in "ok" mode and the fans are real quiet. When I hit a temperature threshold (~125-130F) it clicks on to "active" and never leaves active until I reboot.... it's kind of annoying, but I can live with it _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
