okdok folks first check acpi is supporting temperature and throttling by cating /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/temperature then /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling (state - is normal) you can set the throttling state by (say) echo 4 >/proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling to set state 4 The script is very crude but it keeps me knees cool:) run in xterm as root. hope its useful to someone cheers, Rob __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
