Re: The fan is always on, even when the desktop is rather cool
Thanks David, I checked this page. now if I do: $ sysctl hw.acpi hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state: S1 S3 S4 S5 hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5 hw.acpi.sleep_button_state: S1 hw.acpi.lid_switch_state: NONE hw.acpi.standby_state: S1 hw.acpi.suspend_state: S3 hw.acpi.sleep_delay: 1 hw.acpi.s4bios: 0 hw.acpi.verbose: 0 hw.acpi.reset_video: 1 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_supported: C1/0 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest: C1 hw.acpi.cpu.cx_usage: 100.00% and if i do #sudo acpiconf -s 5 OR #sudo acpiconf -s 1 nothing happens. Can I reinstall acpi, if yes, how can i do it? thanks.

Check the handbook chapter on debugging ACPI: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/acpi-debug.html Its been a while since I messed with it, and I finally got my fan problem solved by replacing the computer with one that had a working ACPI bytecode. What The problem is that the ACPI code for your machine was probably compiled with the Microsoft compiler, which gives a clean compile on errors that would be caught by the Intel compiler. You can dump this bytecode to source and try to recompile it with the Intel compiler. That will likely show you what's broken. If you're lucky you may be able to recode to fix the errors and then load your new bytecode rather than the broken one that shipped with your machine. The best place to persue this question further is the freebsd-acpi mail-list. If Nate Lawson can't help you out, you're probably stuck with a noisy machine. At least you can be confident that it won't overheat. :) David -- Sure the Almighty created the world in only six days, but He didn't have an established user-base. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
