Hi Surachi,

FYI we bottom post here so a conversation flows better.

Is woe woe weo what it sounds like under both doze and linux?

Try googling presario v4000 linux fan and see what turns up.  Check out
the kernel docs and see if there's a kernel module missing that runs
your fan.

Check out your bios.  On my desktop box I have the bios control the fans
based on temperature.  It controls the CPU and 4 case fans independantly
based on 4 sensors around the MB (memory, chipset, top of board, rear of
board) plus the CPU temp.  It keeps the CPU at 40 C and the board at
22 C.
