[tlinux-users:08214] Re: FW: Re: Fan control, Ubuntu 6.06

I wish I had the answer to this problem, but I was unable to make the 
temperature sensors work.
I have SUSE 10.1 installed on a Satelite M-45.
I also tried using PCLinuxOS's Live CD with no luck either.
I just gave up on using those tools, because I figured the hardware just was 
not supported.
It is not too much of a problem for me though, my unit is never on more that 
45 minutes at a time.
Did your laptop have one of the batteries that were recalled by Apple and 
Sony?
