https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30922 Summary: [radeon] Noisy fan with Radeon R600 and Toshiba Satellite L500-164 Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.38-rc8 (at least since 2.6.35) Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) AssignedTo: drivers_video-dri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: denisw@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No When I use my Toshiba Satellite L500-164 laptop (AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4650) with the radeon KMS driver, the GPU fan spins up very quickly (and loudly) after booting and makes no attempt at spinning down subsequently (I need to fully reboot for this to happen). The resulting noise makes the driver unusable for me currently, which is unfortunate as it works perfectly otherwise. I have tested this with every kernel version since I have this laptop, that is, 2.6.35, 2.6.36, 2.6.37 (different distributions each), and 2.6.38-rc8 mainline. I don't know if it is helpful in any way, but I have looked to see if the machine has any external thermal sensors attached to the GPU (using lm_sensors and by looking into sysfs), but only the Intel Core sensors (coretemp) have been found. I assume that means that the GPU has an internal thermal sensor, but I don't know. With the propietary fglrx driver, fan speed control works just fine. If you need any further information, just ask. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Colocation vs. Managed Hosting A question and answer guide to determining the best fit for your organization - today and in the future. http://p.sf.net/sfu/internap-sfd2d -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
