User Feedback :: DSL Makes Notebook Run HOT!



DSL has had ACPI modules since version 3.0
There are auto detected and loaded on evey machine that I have tested. That is not to say that there may be exceptions.

Starting with DSL v3.4RC1 I have added acpid daemon and sample scripts thanks to the efforts of Juanito.

Alot of effort goes into each release of DSL and much has changed.
My development of DSL did not stop with v2.1b.

another take on this issue is one [like mine] where the fan does not come on??

am a fan of mini distros and noticed with both dsl and puppy that fan does not come on when using either distro with my laptop

fan comes on with other larger distros being used as livecd [eg knoppix vector slax pclinos]

laptop gets really hot; i mean really warm

reasons this might be happening???
solutions???

thanks
will try; thanks wdef
sorry to all for dup question entry

Robert I ask that you re-read my post since you perhaps have got the wrong impression.

This question:
Quote
Do the directories /proc/acpi/fan and /proc/acpi/thermal now exist?


was directed at Jimjan to report back after (s)he tried loading the modules - these dirs should get automatically created when the modules are loaded (as happened for me on 2.1b).

As I said, I'm only using 2.1b because I need the ipw2200 driver.  There's no ipw2200 driver available for 2.4.26 kernel dsls in the repo. Nothing *whatsoever* to do with presence or absence of acpi, which I was aware had been added from v3+. No-one was suggesting anything about development having stopped afaik?????

Or if they were, please point them out to me so I can punch them in the nose ...

@Jimjan: you need to tell us what happens (or if nothing happens) when you ty to load those modules instead of PMing me every day.
took some advice from earlier in this stream and - wow - it worked for my laptop [compaq nc 6000]

moved to new dsl 3.4 and right from the start the fan worked!!! - therefore no hot laptop since i switched

my issue was not that fan would run too fast, it just did not come on at all [even though it did with other live distros - eg knoppix, slax]

v3.4 seems to have resolved that that for my system -  :D
