Re: Fan control ?
Hi.
Not having a TiBook with a fan, I can't really help here.
OTOH, I have a small comment.

You can find things a little bit more conveniently running a
"beautified" version of top, which does both things pointed above in a
very user friendly way.
apt-get install htop
You can see threads of processes, set CPU affinity (OK, not that useful
for single processor, single core systems, but quite useful otherwise),
kill processes *way* easier than "regular" top (without memorizing
pid's),
And the best feature of all: it is *SMALL*. (I hate bloated programs
with a passion).
Also, for the problem at hand, a good thing to do would be to use
powertop. Perhaps some other benchmarking tools would be useful to
isolate the problem.
(I'm not sure if the tibook in question needs the fan thermal monitoring
module for powerbooks).
Regards, Rogério.
