Hello, Maybe what I am hearing every 5 seconds is the transition from low fan to high fan instead of off to on. Difficult to say with all the noise from my computer.
I read that the fan control is also managed by the BIOS: http://petermolnar.eu/linux-tech-coding/dell-latitude-e6400-and-linux-mint-11-fine-tuning/ Maybe i8kfan and the BIOS are competing to control the fan ? Having read the changelog between 1.33 and 1.4, I don't understand where the regression comes from. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
