Howdy! My IBM Thinkpad A30p's ATI video chip got cooked last year, leaving me with an unreadable screen full of artifacts. I finally bought a replacement mobo a few days ago and installed it this evening. It's now running artifact free! Yay! Anyway, I'm no longer running FreeBSD on this laptop. I'm currently running Gentoo Linux. But it would be trivial to switch back if needed. I'm using gkrellm under linux to monitor my CPU temp, and I'm noticing that it runs quite hot. The fan doesn't kick in until the CPU hits 80C! That's a little too close for comfort, IMO. I think I remember seeing other posts from Thinkpad users mentioning high temps under ACPI. Has anyone found a way to cool these things down? -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.
