I don't -think- it's a fan problem. It seems to be blowing plenty of hot air out, and I can't see or blow out any obvious clogs w/o opening the case. To me, it seems more like a design defect; this laptop has had this kind of problem ever since I got it, which wasn't long ago. Like you say, it's probably a hardware problem, but HP might say it's all Linux's fault for not using some proprietary interface. (Then again, I haven't asked them. They might agree with you.) In any case, thanks for reminding me to check the fan more closely. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
