Thanks Richard. Almost but not quite. I loaded the fan module, which did nothing, seeing the fan was already running. I then searched through /lib/modules/2.6.* for the fan module so I could find the others. Then loaded the others. Once I loaded the *thermal* module, the fan slowed down. It was stuck on one speed, which was apparently not fast enough for what I was doing. So, either a combination of the fan and thermal modules did something, or just the thermal module.
Thanks again. On 7/30/06, Richard Fish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
