Hi,

Managed to get things working:

i) For CPU fan: Installed the acpi daemon and lm_sensors packages - the fan now works as it should.
ii) For Screen brightness: I found a manual hack to use on the command line: sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=60 (where B = value of the brightness indicated as a number between [0-99] with 0 being the lowest and 99 being the highest value of brightness). It's not the most elegant solution, but it works.

Thanks for the tips pple.

Regards,
Michael

Try "yum install acpid" . I think you can boot without ACPI cause it takes a short time, unless you want to Google on how to integrate ACPI into Grub2.
