I've been struggling with this issue since my upgrade to 10.4. I've an HP 8530p with ATI RadeonHD 3650, Ubuntu 64 bit.
Today I did the following and things seem to get better: - Purged all the fglrx packages from Catalyst 10.10 - Installed Catalyst 10.11 (fglrx version 8.791) - aticonfig --initial -f - aticonfig --acpi-services=off - from the Catalyst Control Center the PowerPlay option is enabled Now the temperature is like this: l...@spock:~$ aticonfig --odgt Default Adapter - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 Sensor 0: Temperature - 49.00 C l...@spock:~$ acpi -t Thermal 0: ok, 16.0 degrees C Thermal 1: ok, 43.0 degrees C Thermal 2: ok, 55.0 degrees C Thermal 3: ok, 24.9 degrees C Thermal 4: ok, 45.0 degrees C Thermal 5: ok, 30.0 degrees C Thermal 2 with 9.10 was always about 50, and before the reinstallation of today, Thermal 2 has always been around 60 or more. So this could be a good trade off :-) HTH Luca -- [ATI Graphics][Lucid] laptop runs hot, shorter battery life, fan always on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563156 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
