[Bug 557829] Re: xserver-xorg-video-ati - overheats computer

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati
  
  Lucid Lynx 10.04 AMD64 Beta 1
  
  xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:6.12.192-2ubuntu2
  xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.192-2ubuntu2
  
  AMD AthlonTM X2 Dual-Core QL-65 @ 2.1GHz (running stock speed, Cool 'n' Quiet working, cpu frequency regulation in kerenel is working, idles @ 1.05GHz but temperature still goes up)
  AMD M780V Chipset
  ATI Radeon 3100 IGP (RV610)
  720P video native support (I suppose that means hardware implemented)
  
  Laptop (Toshiba L305D-S5959) overheats when running open source driver.
  Idles at around 70°C at room temperature of ~22°C, have BIOS set to
  shutdown at 95°C to avoid hardware damage. Computer will shut itself off
  due to temperature under moderate load such as viewing flash video in
  Firefox on hulu.com. This has been repeated at least 3 times.
  
  Running  the  proprietary fglrx driver 2:8.721-0ubuntu7 (with no other
  software changes), the computer idles  @ 45°C (20°C cooler) at room
  temperature of ~22°C. Watching video on hulu.com does not cause
  overheating issues.
  
  This is something that could damage computers. If it's under warranty
  but Ubuntu is found on the hard drive the manufacturer will probably
  void the warranty. I certainly don't want Ubuntu to get that kind of
  reputation.
