Thought I'd throw this out to the masses and see if anybody had any thoughts.
I just recently got a new Dell Inspiron 8100 which (upon arrival) was relieved of the standard virus that had been installed, and was given a fresh copy of RH 7.1. I Ximianized it, and used redcarpet to install all the latest/greatest updates. The problem that I've noticed is that the exhaust fans don't seem to come on, and the system is starting to run a bit warm. The interesting bit is that they come on full bore when I boot winbloze. I downloaded a dell diagnostic tool set (bootable floppies, running under DOS) and they even come on for them... I've checked linux-laptop.net and not found mention of this problem. There's a yahoo groups forum on dell laptops, but the folks there don't seem to have any ideas. The lm_sensors stuff seems to come with RH 7.1, so I tried to get that to work but sensors-detect doesn't find any sensors. I've sent a message into Dell tech support, but I dunno if they'll help since Linux is now and "unsupported" operating system. I was hoping perhaps any of you might have an idea? -- Failure is NOT an option! It comes bundled with Windows(TM).
