Not related to Flightgear, but with the hope for some help from
Linux-knowledgeable people here:

I received my laptop back with a replaced motherboard yesterday, and it
seems to be working fine apart from... a suspicion that I've lost fan
control. I can't be sure, I never checked the state of things before since
everything was just working, but:

1) NVIDIA display settings with the Thermal Monitor shows the GPU in
yellow region  (75 deg C) even without any 3d rendering load.

2) heavy computations did previously cause an audible fan increase (I used
that to check when a calculation was finished) - not there any more even
when I start with heavy CPU load

I have no idea what normal temperatures for GPU and CPU would be (I know
the computer did get hot when heavily used), I have no real idea how
temperature management under Linux is supposed to run, and I even don't
know if it is even possible that everything else works and just fan
control is gone after a motherboard change or if I am just being paranoid.

So if anyone could spare the time to contact me off-list with some
suggestions for diagnostics for a slightly antique FC9 system and possibly
some additional help and pointers, I would really appreciate it. I don't
really want to re-install Linux from scratch unless absolutely necessary,
because that means another month or so till I have everything back
running.

Thanks in advance,

* Thorsten
