Package: xserver-xorg-video-ati Version: 1:6.6.3-2 Severity: important Hi X Strike Force,
I'm fighting with my new (2nd hand) iBook G4 and found the following behaviour in it: (I don't run ?dm, the computer starts in text console mode) - Start X, the GPU temperature starts to rise *very* quickly - The temperature will reach 80 Celsius and fan will turn on (don't know how far it would go) - No matter whether you remain in X or quit, the temperature won't descent Now, if you suspend the laptop (by closing the lid) and resume (just after a couple of secs.) not only the temperature will be much lower, it will remain that low (~60C). That will happen whether you suspend after quitting X OR even if you stay in X before and after resuming. So the problem seems to be in the initialization of the video card. My video card conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Generic Video Card" # Driver "radeon" Driver "ati" BusID "PCI:0:16:0" Option "UseFBDev" "true" VendorName "ATI" # Option "AGPMode" "4" EndSection I've tried both 'radeon' and 'ati' drivers and AGPMode 4 and none (1). All with the same result. So it could be a kernel (module) problem (2.6.19.1).
