In the console, as root, can you: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo | grep Lowest then echo that value into the max freq file, e.g.: $ echo 400 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_max_freq then try logging in and doing stuff. If that fixes your fan issue, it means the GPU frequency is to blame. I think Eugeni is working on a nice API to let users control perf vs power a bit better than our current default of "try to run as fast as possible under any load, even a tiny one". -- Jesse Barnes, Intel Open Source Technology Center -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
