Public bug reported:
Testing Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 3 on an Acer TravelMate 6292-602G25MN, I
noticed that the fan is accelerating and decelerating about 15 times per
minute. It turns to what probably is full speed when you start something
like OpenOffice.org as the only program. When you just browse the web
(using firefox), it accelerates and decelerates all the time, too. This
even happens if you have turned everything on "always run full power" in
GNOME's energy saving preferences.
I suppose that the fan won't live long under these conditions.
Why doesn't the fan work at a constant, temperature-safe speed?
