Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work on my Satellite 2805-S201, under 5.0 anyway. Bummer. I still vote for turning it into a port. If I reboot, I will load up the 4.8 side and see if it works there. Somehow, I think it will not. Probably just hardware differences. The old fan.c used to work back in the earlier 4.x series. I do not remember when it stopped working. I would like to have the ability to force the fan to run all the time. But it is not a big deal, my right leg is accustomed to cooking under this laptop after more than two years. But this Satellite is acting like it wants to die soon anyway. That will, finally, give me an excuse to get a titanium powerbook. :-) -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
