Vacuuming brought the idle temperature down by 5C. sauerbraten now runs great at about 80C, but glchess/gnuchess still gets up to 95C or more! I think this is caused by an already-reported bug in gnuchess [1] that uses 100% CPU when run under an X interface. (Just like the reporter, I don't have the problem when I use gnuchess from the command line.) Unfortunately, setting gconf /apps/gnome-power-manager/cpufreq/policy_ac to "powersave" doesn't seem to eliminate the problem, either. I guess I'll just have to wait until the bug is fixed to play Chess normally. :( [1] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=437872 Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
