Once I finished building Xorg and my video drivers, I did a reboot. Then logged in again and started X. All was good and my fans were quiet. Now on to build my DE!

During the install I selected the powerd service to control cpu scaling, but I am not sure if it is working. It could since I am installing the port for xorg I just to be sure that there is not another port I need to install to manage cpu and fans on powerpc.

All temperatures and fan speeds can be seen with sysctl as well. I think the iBook uses the adt746x, but you can just grep for 'temp', 'pwm', and 'rpm' for the data, maybe a sensor is finding a really high temperature. If you're building anything the temperature does sound and the fans go nuts, but afterwards they should quiet down. > > -Justinhelp
