Greetings fellow Gentoo users :) |

I wonder if anyone could be of assistance. I am desperately trying to |
| 4 |
get Gentoo playing nicely with my IBM ThinkPad T40, but I am having a |
| 5 |
/serious/ problem that could easily render my laptop inoperable if I |
| 6 |
continue to use it. |

Basically my CPU fan doesn't appear to be spinning up correctly under |
| 9 |
Gentoo (but works as expected under WinXP - dual boot setup), and I |
| 10 |
caught my CPU at 68 degrees yesterday! Fortunately I noticed before it |
| 11 |
was too late, and used the Pentium M speedstep feature to reduce my CPU |
| 12 |
to 500Mhz, dropping the temperature back down to a comfortable 44 degrees. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I really don't know what to do. I've tried every approach I've |
| 15 |
encountered, but nothing seems to be able to keep my CPU temperature |
| 16 |
down without knocking 2/3 off my CPU speed (which is obviously not desired). |

Is there anyone with any words of wisdom on this topic? |

Many thanks in advance :) |
