[gentoo-user] Abnormal processor temperature.

I have a system here running an Intel N97 processor, which is idling at 70-80C on Gentoo with all cores 99% idle. This is 40 degrees hotter than it runs on Ubuntu or Windows 10. Powertop confirms that the CPU is spending nearly all of its time in idle mode. I have tried both the 6.1 and the 6

I have a program with an embedded copy of ffmpeg that is choking on a lack of libva-glx.so.2. Debian has it in a libva-glx package. Manjaro has it in their general libva package. On Gentoo there is no trace of it... At least not until I use the 'ebuild' tool to build the libva package manually

RE: [gentoo-user] Reinstall
