Same issue here on a Latitude D630 with an 'nVidia Corporation Quadro NVS 135M (rev a1)'. Driver 177 causes the fan be noisy. Reverting to driver 173, using the Hardware Drivers application, stops the issue after a reboot.
I fix the proble with an update to A15 bios : http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Tech/libsmbios_dellBiosUpdate -- nvidia graphics driver 177.80 on geforce 8400 makes fan spin all the time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280805 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
