In /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points there is the setting for thermal shutdown. It seems to be read from a file in /etc for various motherboards, if you know your motherboard, which, this being a HP laptop, I am not clear about. Is there a way to set this manually? On a related matter, there is other information in /proc/acpi: ac_adapter embedded_controller fan processor video battery event info sleep wakeup button dsdt fadt power_resource thermal_zone Is there a (KDE4) too for monitoring or altering any of this? -- "The wide world is all about you: you can fence yourselves in, but you cannot for ever fence it out." -- JRR Tolkien, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
