fan funning high on base system

[Herminio Hernandez Jr.]

It does use adt746x I believe. I have ran Gentoo on this machine as well and noticed that same thing. I just wanted to verify this is the case of FreeBSD as well. Thanks!

It could since I am installing the port for xorg I just to be sure that there is not another port I need to install to manage cpu and fans on powerpc. Thanks!

I think the iBook uses the adt746x, but you can just grep for 'temp', 'pwm', and 'rpm' for the data, maybe a sensor is finding a really high temperature. If you're building anything the temperature does sound and the fans go nuts, but afterwards they should quiet down.
