All,

I run Linux (Fedora 8 and Ubuntu 7.10) on two laptops that contain NVIDIA GPU. One thing i have noticed is that the Fan is always running on both laptops (Toshiba Tecra M5 and Averatec 7170). When i check for the CPU usage it is normally (with Compiz running) less than 3% and would obviously spike when any CPU intensive operations are performed. When the CPU is high the Fan is high with lot of noise.

I am not sure but wondering how the Fan works in laptops which have embedded GPU and is there a way to control the Fan. Also, is Compiz the reason for such a behavior.

I use livna's NVIDIA driver on Fedora 8.

Thanks

I've heard that Tecra M4s (M5s are probably closely related) have major issues with the graphics chip - it often burns out.
Maybe those chips/mobos don't properly implement GPU powersave states?
