My Inspiron 4150 also monitors 85 degrees sometimes. I read somewhere that pressing Fn + z should solve the problem, but I've not had a chance to try it myself yet. I believe it was the same place that wrote that the problem existed on windoze too in earlier bios versions, but was fixed. I have not checked this information myself either. -- Jens Christian Gram [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student of Computer Engineering, 5. sem., AAU

Disable mousepad on DELL inspiron 4150
While we are at the Dells, does anybody know how to disable the mousepad on a Dell Inspiron 4150? I have been told that the Windoze driver supports this, but I have not found anything about doing it under Linux. -- Jens Christian Gram [EMAIL PROTECTED] Student of Computer Engineering, 5. sem., AAU
