Title:
  1002:9612 [HP Pavilion tx2500 Notebook PC] ATI card fan is always on
  with opensource radeon driver

Status in xserver-xorg-driver-ati:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  $ cat /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile
  low

  When I use the opensource driver for my ATI card the notebook fan is
  always spinning and temperature of outgoing air from fan is very high,
  even when I set /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile to low and
  cpu mode to powersave. With proprietary drivers (fglrx) I set video
  card performance to "ondemand" (I forgot the exact name of this mode
  in ATI control center) and cpu mode to ondemand, and the notebook
  isn't hot, fans are not spinning (if I don't start flash, games or
  some similar app with high cpu load). So with fglrx I can use the
  notebook on battery for 1.5 - 2 hours and it's not hot, but with the
  opensource driver notebook on battery is dead in 50 minutes, the fan
  is always on, it noise is loud, and the notebook is very hot.
