[SLE] SuSE 7.2 cooling fan on always and kde question
Hello All, This is my first mail to this group, so please forgive me if I do something wrong, or if this is not the place for these 2 questions... I just bought SuSE 7.2 Pro and installed it on a new Sony Vaio 1.5GHz P4 machine. 7.2 is a great improvement from 6.3 by the way! I have been running 6.3 on another machine for over a year. I use the KDE interface on both machines. Question 1: My CPU Fan seems to be on 100% of the time I am booted into SuSE 7.2. When I boot into windows, the fan only comes on occasionally. Is this normal for SuSE to run the fan all of the time? Is it going to burn out the fan eventually? Question 2: In 6.3, all open windows were shown in buttons just above the task bar at the bottom of the screen, so I could quickly jump to any window - even if it was on another virtual screen (then it's virtual screen would automatically become active). In 7.2, I only have buttons for windows that are open on the active virtual screen (and they are shown right in the task bar), so I have to switch to the other virtual screen first to get to a window there. Is there a way to have it show all window buttons in 7.2 like it does by default in 6.3? I have looked extensively everywhere I could think of to find answers to these questions before using this mail list, but I can't find information about them. Thanks for any advice you can pass along. Best regards, Stan Steliga mailto:stan@stansco.com Stan's NetChess http://www.stansco.com/netchess

It's better to have just one question per post as it's easier to track a thread. But don't worry about it. ;-)

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you.

Yes. Control Centre->Look & Feel->Taskbar->Show all windows. M -- Martin Webster <mwebster@ntlworld.com> Registered Linux User #230322 http://homepage.ntlworld.com/spider-monkey/
