** Description changed:

  (The only nearly relevant choice I could find in apport was xorg, so I'm
  sorry if this is incorrect.)
  
  I'm running Oneiric Beta1 fully updated.  I've noticed my laptops
  cooling fan is permanently running, and that the temperature of my
  graphics card reaches 86 degrees C according to the NVIDIA Server
- Settings information.  My laptop is actually almost too hot to touch
- underneath.  Before Oneiric, the temperature of the graphics card was
- around 50 to 60 degrees C.
+ Settings information.  I've never seen such high temperatures before.
+ My laptop is actually almost too hot to touch underneath.  Before
+ Oneiric, the temperature of the graphics card was around 50 to 60
+ degrees C.
  
  These temperatures are reached during "normal" everday use of my laptop.
  I'm only running Firefox, Thunderbird, Dropbox, Ubuntu One, Empathy,
  Gwibber and Liferea.  No games, or other graphic intensive stuff.
  
  I've attached a screenshot of NVIDIA Server Settings.
