Mine is a "Compaq Presario 1277" laptop, How can i determine if this
requires a ACPI or APM to have the fan running ?
Thanks.

To keep things exciting, it depends on the laptop. Generally, though, the
problem here is that some laptops require ACPI to make the fan go, so if
you
turn on APM, no ACPI, and therefore no fan.
Mine (a Sony Vaio U101) requires ACPI to make the fan work _properly_, but
luckily it's "fail on" -- without ACPI, it runs at full blast all of the
time, which is at least less dangerous that the alternative.
