Anyway, I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 8.10 on my laptop and the fan was at full tilt after the install. I then installed the latest packaged nvidia driver 177 (even though I usually get the nvidia driver from nvidia.com and install manually) via the "Hardware Drivers" utility. After a reboot the fan behaves normally.
