I've just tested the new kernel, and it seems to work well in the sense that it keeps my laptop at around 60°C when idle. The problem is that, even at 60°C, my laptop fan is still very noisy. Is 60°C still too hot? Is it just a hardware problem? -- You received this bug notification because you

Julien - poor hardware design is a possibility. Also make sure you have removed all dust from inside the computer, particulary from the CPU and GPU fans and heatsinks (if it's a desktop, open the case, if it's a laptop at the very least run a vacuum cleaner nozzle along the external air vents).

@madbiologist Thanks for the advice, I'll try them all. The fact that I live in the south of France probably doesn't help either (it's around 30°C here now). As for the firmware, my card is pretty old: ATI RS880M [Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250]. I guess I don't need them, right? -- You received

According to Wikipedia and http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#index5h2 the Mobility Radeon HD 4225/4250 is a RV620 chip, so you shouldn't need the updated firmware files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu.

See the blog post at http://www.botchco.com/agd5f/?p=57 for further information. Unlike the older dynpm method, the new DPM method works with multiple monitors and there shouldn't be any flickering as the performance level changes are handled by dedicated hardware rather than the driver. -- You

I definitely agree with Richard - I'd also rate this bug highly important, especially with the fact in mind that for ATI cards the xserver-xorg-video-ati driver is used by default on a fresh installation (correct me if I am wrong here). Also consider this might perhaps lead to increasing reports

Jeremy, There's no upstream bug as this is not exactly a bug per definition, it's more like a new feature that's being worked on. I don't think it'd be a good idea to file a bugreport upstream either as this is already under development. If you want you may consider this bug fixed upstream and
