This has been an ongoing and general problem with Toshiba cooling, you are correct in writing this. I have spent quite a lot of time trying to research for a solution without success. I believe the kernel driver for Toshiba laptops you are referring to is contained in the package Toshutils. I have tried this package on several versions of Suse and other Linux distros that I have installed on this laptop to try and resolve the cooling problem. It doesn't work. I was last able to use this toshiba laptop reliably and consistently with opensuse 11.1, and had to pass up 11.2 and 11.3 because I couldn't get the fan to work with them. I found that I could get the fan to work with 11.4 and other than the distro standard kernels. Here is a related bug that I opened that was the most fruitful of any bug report that I have filed, to bring you up to speed. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=736077 In the end, it was determined that the bug should be passed on to LinuxKernel.org, which I did. That was the last I ever heard of it. I know that you guys are busy, and that this is a specific problem that only effects Toshiba. I don't fault you for this, but I can't fix it as I don't have this kind of knowledge. I understand the issues involved, but would still like to see it fixed. As regards buying an HP laptop with Suse installed, my previous two laptops were HP's. I haven't found them to be very well designed for durablility and decided not to buy them anymore. I won't buy a Toshiba laptop again because of the problems with linux, but that is what I own now and want to get it running properly with linux. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
