[tlinux-users:07842] Re: Problems with my satellite A105

Hi Saba,

really? I have return from the store. I ask back for my money. But,
I'm waiting for the answer.

I cant' see the file with koqueror or ls too. But, If I use the more
/proc/acpi/fan/... There is a file with a zero bit.

Have you recompile your kernel?
And your computer continues to shut downs for no reason?

Thanks agains

Celso
