If this was on a stable system it seems odd, if it was unstable or testing it might just be one of the "charms" of running something that is in development. You need to figure out what package is responsible for the change, boot the previous kernel for example. Then figure out if it's a bug or just changed behaviour. I'm not sure how fancontrol works. What exactly broke? Do you not get readings from the temperature sensors, or is it not possible to control the fan speed? -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 6FAB5CD5
