I know this isn't that technical a list - but there seems to be some bright folks on the list. I need to have acpi=on in order to get sound and my PCMCIA slot working, not to mention some of the other buttons/functions. When I enable acpi my fan kicks into high gear and eats up 99% of the CPU time. The system crawls. Anyone experience something like this? How did you handle it? Hints, tips, tricks? Thanks in advance. Hardware: ASUS M3000N (M3N) 1.4Ghz Pentium-M (centrino) Also - I really like Fedora. very fast and usable. I have even been using Gnome, which i never have been able to use for more than a short period of time. Good work everyone. -- W.
