Speaking of NTFS, I had to resort to XP for a media jukebox that only
has a windows version of it's software.
While I was using the OS. I noticed that my processor was running hot
and the fans were on most of the time.
I did have the processor go up to 72 C in Fedora once, but it usually
runs around 40 - 45 C.
Also after using Fedora most of the time. I found that when I launch XP.
I have trouble with the synaptic integrated mouse for this laptop. It
runs for awhile, then quits responding. If I reset the mouse from the
control panel. It will run until I finish with the session.
My main reason for asking about the synaptic strangeness in the other OS
is because I was wondering if anything is being corrupted in the
synaptic device by the kernel. Firmware, if this device so happens to
have any.
