[OT] What about your fans ?

[Olivier M. <sh...@ss...>]

Hi,

I'm sorry, this mail might be totally off topic, but I didn't manage to
find a real user-related linuxppc ML and didn't feel like posting on
linuxppc-devel was a good idea. I'm posting here because I feel this is
a somewhat powermanagement problem. Please, feel free to flame if there
is a more appropriate ML ;)

I have an iBook 12" from 06/2005. And I find that, compared to what I
have seen with OS X, the fans are on much more often. Is this normal ?
I guess the "adt746x: Lowering max temperatures from 69, 92, 101 to 70,
50, 70" in my logs can explain that, but I wanted to be sure it was the
normal behavior and not something to worry about.

Moreover (and this is my real problem which I think may be related to
the above), the computer sometimes freezes or suddenly reboots.
Whenever this happens, the fans are always (by the noise) at their
maximum speed. This behavior started around the time (can't be more
precise I'm affraid:-/ ) I dumped pmud for pbbuttonsd to do all the
job. Maybe I'm missing something or made a mistake. Google was not so
chatty about this problem...

For information:

I'm really at a loss, so any hint or detail on how it is for you will be
largely appreciated.
