ACPI questions


Is there anyway to adjust the ACPI settings because my computer is running really hot. The fan is running all the time and I am afraid that it will burn up.

Thanks

And you can't read the forum rules and post what kind of computer you have?

Do you have ACPI support in your kernel? If not, i know personally (hp ze 5460) HP laptops get very hot. Is it a mobile processor??

If you dont have ACPI support, tell me, I can do a quick walk through

Yeah I have tried as modules and built in and both ways don't work. I read something somewhere that said if you have acpi you should get the mm patch or the love patch so I tried that and tried to apply the patch but after the patch was applied copiling the kernel would always error out. I don't know what to do.
