After posting this I found this link talking about the SMC: http://blogs.sun.com/karim/entry/opensolaris_2009_06_on_a
It mentions this at the bottom: [b]Heat: OpenSolaris doesn't handle yet the SMC that is responsible of managing the internal MacBook Pro fans. So, your MacBook pro can be hot (well known issue at Apple). I do recommend to install the SMC fan controller under MacOS X, add 500 RPM to the fans and reboot. The fan's speed will be kept by the SMC untill the next poweroff.[/b] What's with this 500 RPM setting? The fans are always going to spin at 500RPM? THANKS -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
