Morning Report: This morning after a night of being off, it started and immediately reported a temp of 68 C rather than the 22 C it had previously. There have been no heat symptoms in operation or temp of various parts. I conclude that whatever is reporting the heat in the bios has lost its calibration ... or something similar. The bios window on boot has two simplistic screens, so I'm either not finding the whole bios config (don't start me on the goofy way Toshiba chose to boot into the bios or to the CD drive), or it's drain bed. Long and short of it: I believe that the laptop is operational in every respect except reporting CPU heat. Expect it at the SDTUG meeting this Thursday. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
