And fan cue two#

"What happens if I plug it in there instead?" Oh. The CPU fan is in fact fine: the problem is the motherboard header. Plugging the CPU fan into the socket labelled "PWR FAN" and the case fan into "CHA FAN", and now they both go round. The machine refuses to boot until it's (mistakenly) complained that the CPU fan is not revolving, but there's probably a BOIS option to fix that. And gkrellm, courtesy of the k8temp module, can now tell me that the CPU is at about 48 degrees: no need to buy more bits of hardware after all.

Which is nice, cos I just got one of these instead. More on that when it turns up, but I might add that in the meantime I'm happy to see that Mixxx has resumed development and that with only a small amount of mucking around (comment out the OpenGL calls in Material::Material) I've managed to make it not segfault on startup. It may need more hacking to be entirely drivable by MIDI, though (Program Change messages to select tracks from the playlist? Someone tell me why this is a bad idea, if it is)
