May I say, to add to what have been said, than you can test temperature on diffenrent cases, this can show you where do savings. for example my (old) laptop is at 50°C on text mode (init 3, no X running). Typing "startx" give after some minutes a temperature of 75°C, just doing nothing... (and in this case, no fan runs, fans starts just after that as soon as I begin to work Not to say you can't use X :-), but fans also drain current. static (radiators, external fans) can gain time jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Votez pour nous, merci - vote for us, thanks :-) http://musique.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/Magic-Alliance/ http://photo.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/jddphoto/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
