After shutdown about a hour I turned back on and everything was working again very fast.I hope I didn't brake anything! Here are the spec about the laptop:: Toshiba Satellit A15-S157, 2.2ghz proc, 512mb ram. I installed FreeBSD 4.10 on it, adn I use KDE desktop. Is there any built in or third party program I can install to turn on the cooling fan when is necessary?? Or do I need to make some change in my installation?? Thank you soo much for all the answers.
