Hi y'all,
i just installed Arch onto my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2045 laptop with Pentium M processor. It was fairly easy, although i ran into few problems afterwards (bad locale, wrong /tmp permissions...). Now i've got wifi working and X running smoothly with Xfce on top of it. Yay!
The thing that puzzles me right now is the high CPU temp and fans constantly on, even when the computer is idle. I also have Ubuntu installed and i've got no such problems back there. Is it possible that the ACPI and stuff isn't configured correctly? TIA for any advice.

in Arch few things are configured by default. You have to do it by hand.

You will just have to modprobe some modules, I guess. Sounds like ACPI isn't turned on or something like that.
Todays mistakes are tomorrows catastrophes.

Run 'lsmod' at a terminal and see whether the thermal module is loaded. That, and the fan module. Those two are responsible for managing CPU fan and temp, and try out speedstepping too.
