I installed Fedora Core 1 on my HP Pavilion ze4630us. Battery monitor didn't work, so I enabled acpi in grub.conf. Now battery monitor works. The LINUXANT.COM HSF driver got my winmodem working. But before I go mobile, I need to get the fan to stop spinning when I unplug the A/C power! In Windows the fan on this laptop hardly ever ran and I never seem to have any type of overheating or crashing problem. Although the laptop did seem to get pretty hot, which is common for this HP I read. Using Gnome and Fedora Kernel 2.4.22-1.2174.nptl. How do I control this fan on my laptop? Someone said to cat some number to a file in /proc which would turn it off, but I would rather some program or daemon service control my fan automatcially? It appears I need to setup some config files in /etc/acpi??? Would the 2.6 kernel in Fedora Core 2 xxxx solve this problem if I upgrade when the final is out? On another note, there is need to control the default route when I disconnect the eth0 cable and use the modem. I use wvdial and everything works, but when it's disconnected, I always have to restart networking to get the proper default route back to my lan connection. Need a program to monitor the network devices for connections and automatically adjust the default route! And hey, what happened to the Gnome ppp dialer? jay
