The 2595XDVD is a laptop, not a DVDROM drive, although it has one in it. The fan I want to turn on is the case exhaust fan, a little muffin about an inch square. Apparently, under MICROS~1, this thing comes on automagically, when temps get too high. Possibly an APM controlable doo-hickey, but I can't find anything about it. Major PITA. Thanks for the reply! Much appreciated -- Dann Lunsford The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil dann@greycat.com is that men of good will do nothing. -- Cicero To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
