Public bug reported:
I am running on a Dell 1420 laptop with an nvidia 8400 video card, using
the latest updates to the 64bit version of Intrepid Ibex. When I'm in X
(KDE or even just KDM) the cooling fan spins all the time. The air
coming from it isn't hot or anything it just blows all the time. If I
switch to a console (not log out, just press CTR+ALT+F1) the fan stops
spinning. When I switch back to X then the fan starts spinning again.
If I run X with the open source "nv" driver then the fan works as
expected (it's off unless the CPU is under load). Also, the previous
driver didn't do this, and that was version 177.60 (I believe).
The nvidia driver version is 177.80.
