I think there's a patch for the vmware tools to fix this issue, although I don't remember where. I also think that it was fixed in VMWare server 2 beta, if you want to play with. Thanks, Hetz On Wed, May 21, 2008 at 12:49 PM, Ira Abramov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > one of my clients started play

Hey On my old HP nc8000 the fan speed was inaccessible through the OS. It would power up (and make a lot of noise) only on really high loads and the laptop would still get pretty hot. I had to use the powersaved daemon to (automatically) throttle the CPU freq when not needed. AFAIK this is the co
