Erm, this sounds like your system is *not* running hot, but that the fan is always on. It's difficult to guess from such incomplete information. You could try running "powertop" in a console (konsole?) and see, but I think you said your CPUs were not at 100% busy. So it might be a bios issue with your laptop, e.g. needing a special boot option with the latest kernel. -- Liam Quin - XML Activity Lead, W3C, http://www.w3.org/People/Quin/ Pictures from old books: http://fromoldbooks.org/ Ankh: irc.sorcery.net irc.gnome.org freenode/#xml
