you should consider using some speed-throttling SW like cpudyn / powernowd. They temporary throttle down the cpuspeed. See earlier postings on this list. > 1. how to check the temp of the processor? If you have a acpi-enabled laptop you'll find this information in /proc/acpi/prozessor/*/temperature $ apt-cache search cpu dyn In this case "$ acpi -V" will also give you that information. If no acpi is available lm-sensors may give you this functionality. $ apt-cache show sensord In 2.6 kernels those lm-sensors modules are already compiled in. You still have to compile/install them for 2.4 kernels. > 2. how to understand what's going no? some powermanagement functions seem to not be enabled on your lappi. even the cpu goes into a kind of sleep-loop if nothing is do be done, there are much more efficient ways: throtteling down the FSB. Have a look at the above mentioned tools. Sometimes putting more RAM/other peripherie into the laptop disturbes the airflow inside or these simple get hotter and so causes overheating. > thank you > > Roberto sl ritch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
