did anything major change in acpi?

Hello,

I reinstalled and there for upgraded my kernel form 2.6.18
to 2.6.19, 
and also upgraded all the acpi related stuff like acpid. My
laptop 
overheats a lot now, it is around 90-96 degrees celcius when
compiling, 
and before it was a lot cooler (75 max). Has anything major
changed when 
dealing with acpi?
My acpid is running and my fans are on, but maybe they are
not on as 
strong? Is there something new to do now?

Thanks,
Gabriel

acpid probably isn't related to that anyway. Or did you
configure some
thermal triggers there? Does your new kernel have proper
support for
ACPI (and its thermal module) and (although not important
during
compile run) CPUfreq? MCE support? All relevant modules
loaded?

I guess it's not the (speed of the) fans, but rather speed
throttling
what's not working as desired here.

The throttling is almost always off, except when I not
connected to the 
AC. I did turn off the acpi compat. api, I trying to see if
that was it. 
Other than that, I just copied my old config file to the new
kernel 
directory and added the new stuff and turned off that I
stated above. 
I'll keep you up to date, thanks for sparking the idea.

Cheers,
Gabriel
