Hi Marc,
So you're using ACPI on your notebook? I tried that too, but, then
the battery indicator's gone from systray. Previously I used apmd, so
I tried to run it, but it seemed that when we chose ACPI, linux
erased apmd. I don't know why. Also, what is the different between
ACPI and apmd? I use apmd now.
About the fan, in my Acer TM802LCi, it doesn't always run, but more
often that if I'm in windows.
Fajar.

This is a bit odd...
When I woke up this morning (I leave the notebook on all the time),
the fan was running like crazy, and it was incredibly hot. I shut it
down, and when I got home from school(yes, I go to school), I powered
it on again. The fan wasn't running. Now of course it is, but the
notebook isn't burning like it was before. I still of course have the
problem of my ACPI monitor not showing. It's not in the KDE menus
either. Anyone?
