I just realized after re-reading your original post that you're running Compiz. Doing so will keep your GPU hot most of the time, which is why you feel heat under your hands. You're also decreasing battery life substantially by running Compiz when on battery. If you use your laptop primarily while plugged into wall power, enable the setting in the BIOS, if it's not already enabled. That will fix the heat problem. If it's already enabled, and still running hot, contact HP as there may be a problem. WRT checking/changing fan speed in Linux, fancontrol is the daemon to due it. Did you manually configure fancontrol after installing it? Did you install lm-sensors and configure it? -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
