Hmmm. I have a "WinBook XL2" running Linux. It gets rather warm, and the fans never seem to run (after POST), but I always figured it was just designed to run warm. It never occurred to me that it might be *Linux* causing the problem. There is no MS-Windows on this system, so I cannot test that. (I never thought I'd *want* to run MS-Windows on the thing.) > I was hoping perhaps any of you might have an idea? Try switching between APM, ACPI, and nothing-at-all in Linux. One might work when the others do not. ACPI, in theory, lets you control things like fans. I remember looking for ACPI fan-related stuff for Linux about four months ago, but only turned up things in the planning stages. Perhaps something more developed is available now? -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
