My motherboard recently 'died' and I can't discount the possibility that it may have been damaged due to this bug. It's disappointing that the bug has been de-assigned, are we to assume from that that the kernel team don't think there's a problem?
Due to what it would have cost to repair I have now purchased a new laptop and have avoided anything with ATI graphics (which these days is pretty much anything with an AMD CPU) as I don't want to go through all this again -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563156 Title: [ATI Graphics][Lucid] laptop runs hot, shorter battery life, fan always on -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
