I'll take a look at your patch. Umemoto-san is right in that you really want the kernel to control cooling. What happens if powerd dies/hangs and your system burns up? Passive cooling is often a last resort to keep the system from overheating. -Nate _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
