I'm seeing the opposite. Using the open source driver for ATI cards the laptop gets hot straight away and the fan kicks in. Using fglrx (the proprietary driver) I have no trouble at all apart from Plymouth being at a very low resolution. I wonder if we have two separate problems here, one affect

I have the same problem on my Toshiba Portege M800 with Core2 duo T5800 and Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics. The fan rarely comes on, and the temperature is about 10C higher than before upgrade from 9.04. Under full load, the fan only stars to spin faster at 70C, and even there slower than maximum.
