Hi list, since i dont't know where else to ask this question i figured i might as well ask it here. i'm running gentoo on my tibook 550 (powerbook3,3 that is in kernelspeak) and noticed that with a 2.4 kernel as well as under macos the fan hardly ever kicks in, even when the computer gets quite hot while with the 2.6 kernel the fan wouldn't stop running.
while this aproach is probably bying me some more lifetime for my computer, it is seriously annoying not to have at least an occasional moment of silence when sitting in front of the box. i already tried searching the kerneltree for suspicious expressions like "fan.*control" and such but so far without success (meaning i found only acpi-related stuff). can someone please give me a hint where else to look or even where else to ask this question? any help is appreciated! thanks in advance and best regards, alexander
