You need to have a kernel which supports your mainboard's and CPU's |
| 15 |
sensors. With the fancontrol daemon, the fan will be controlled by |
| 16 |
software using user-defined temperature rules (for example, 30C=40% Fan, |
| 17 |
40C=50% Fan, 50C=70% Fan, etc.) |

This is a feature, not a bug ;) That way you have a temporary clipboard |
| 25 |
as well as a main clipboard. I don't know if it can be disabled (since |

I like this feature and therefore never bothered to check how to turn it |
| 27 |
off :P) |
