According to the nvidia-settings application, my XPS M1330 idles at 40
Celsius. Even watching full screen video, it doesn't get significantly
hotter than this.

I have the latest A15 BIOS installed and have the nvidia-glx driver
180.44-0ubuntu1 installed from the Jaunty repository. I set the devices
section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as shown below in an attempt to
allow dynamic GPU scaling:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    BoardName      "GeForce 8400M GS"
    Option         "NoLogo" "True"
    Option         "TripleBuffer" "True"
    Option         "BackingStore" "False"
    Option         "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerEnable=0x1; PerfLevelSrc=0x3333; PowerMizerLevelAC=0x3; PowerMizerLevel=0x3"
    Option         "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts" "True"
    Option         "Coolbits" "1"
