Hi again, sorry for writing after such long time of silence, but I was busy with one project (and family as well) On Sunday 17 November 2013 21:05:46 you wrote: > On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 05:45:18PM +0100, MPhil.

But we'll see. > I was able to solve the issue by removing some of the modules I had in xorg.conf. I noticed that it is not the cpu that is overheating, but rather the video/graphic card. The area around the "Dell" logo on the front of the display is still pretty hot, but the system seem to be working fine now and I can not reproduce the issue any more. Someone would ask why I'm using the xorg.conf. The reason is because without it X automatically loads the GL direver for 3d support and I am not able to use second display. Perhaps it is worth trying latest intel driver as susggested before. However with the current one it is working fine, so I would consider the issue as solved. I would like to thank you for your precious support and ideas once again. regards _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
