I don't -think- it's a fan problem. It seems to be blowing plenty of
hot air out, and I can't see or blow out any obvious clogs w/o opening
the case. To me, it seems more like a design defect; this laptop has
had this kind of problem ever since I got it, which wasn't long ago.
Like you say, it's probably a hardware problem, but HP might say it's
all Linux's fault for not using some proprietary interface. (Then
again, I haven't asked them. They might agree with you.)
In any case, thanks for reminding me to check the fan more closely.
