On the temp issue -- that is processor dependent. 45 degrees can be hot on some while 110 degrees is OK on some P3/AMD XP class chips. All chip manufacturers have the allowable temps listed for their processors and many web sites have a summary of this info -- google is your friend.
With a clean laptop and armed with the manufacturers allowable temp information -- you will then be in a position to answer your own question.
Part of it yes but not the part about "how do I set the trip temp"?
Hmm, I once did that on my old laptop (Pentium-M 1.6GHz), following http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/thermal.html. I could change them by writing something to /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points (default was 110⁰ for critical) With the new laptop the location has changed to /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZ0?/trip_points. I can still cat it to see the values (critical at 98⁰, though format has slightly changed), but cannot change them anymore :-( Pit -- Dr. Peter "Pit" Suetterlin http://www.astro.su.se/~pit Institute for Solar Physics Tel.: +34 922 405 590 (Spain) P.Suetterlin@royac.iac.es +46 8 5537 8507 (Sweden) Peter.Suetterlin@astro.su.se -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
