I am running a Dell D600 Latitude laptop [...] Here in FreeBSD, my fans are running FULL SPEED all of the time and also seems to be hotter than many conventional ovens.
I'm on a Dell Inspiron 8600C (which is the cheaper consumer-grade version of your laptop) and it runs nice and cool for me. You are probably missing the power management daemon (powerd). For more information, see man powerd and to see whether it helps, add the following to your /etc/rc.conf:
powerd_enable="YES" HTH, - Bartosz _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
