You might've had anacron kick a few things into action. If it was time to catch up on an overdue run of prelink, this will keep the CPU noticeably busy, for a few minutes. pgp5bioLhBLe1.pgp Description: PGP signature -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

The project wiki page says at best this is a work in progress, depending on the card you own. The Nouveau wiki pages sometimes lag a bit especially for Fedora where Ben gets stuff in pretty early in the development release, but it is good indication of the current support state. http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/PowerManagement -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I know what the CPU fan is like because I've heard it since I got it. I installed the nouveau driver today and for the first time I heard the GPU fan by itself. Furthermore, not only does it sound different, it comes from a different part of the laptop. Interesting experience. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
