I think you mean it is running on higher speed as needed? you can check acpi in /proc and see what policy and temperature you are using cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/* <setting not supported> polling frequency: 2 seconds state: ok temperature: 53 C critical (S5): 126 C I'm using lenny wit 2.6.26 kernel which kernel are you using - check the kernel config and you can also use top to see which program is using cpu (system load) regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
