** Description changed: Lenovo Thinkpad T500 runs hot / on high fan RPM when configured to use the discrete Mobility Radeon 3650 instead Intel graphics. I haven't noticed any differences between Catalyst and open source driver so I'm reporting from Catalyst-configured configuration. Open source is a no- go! I use sensors command in terminal to verify temp values: For intel it's below 2000 RPM and temps circa 40 For AMD it's close to 3000 RPM and temps 45 and higher. Once RPM reaches higher threshold, it never goes to lower RPM values. + Observed in both 12.04 x64 and 12.10 x64. 100% sure + Observed across all kernel versions available for 12.10 (official) and most recent 12.04 kernel versions. As for the previous kernels - I'm not sure. + + I've gathered some *.apport files from different configurations, so let + me know if it's needed. + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-18.29-generic 3.5.7 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-18-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx .tmp.unity.support.test.0: - + ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Sun Nov 18 11:01:31 2012 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: quantal DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: fglrx-legacy, 8.97.100.3, 3.5.0-18-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes GraphicsCard: - Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV635 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650] [1002:9591] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) - Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2117] + Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV635 [Mobility Radeon HD 3650] [1002:9591] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) + Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:2117] InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-11-12 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: LENOVO 20823HU MarkForUpload: True PccardctlIdent: - Socket 0: - no product info available + Socket 0: + no product info available PccardctlStatus: - Socket 0: - no card + Socket 0: + no card ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.5.0-18-generic root=UUID=a144bb5d-50ba-49c4-aadc-c57f5a0e5d4d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 12/14/2011 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: 6FET92WW (3.22 ) dmi.board.name: 20823HU dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Not Available dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvr6FET92WW(3.22):bd12/14/2011:svnLENOVO:pn20823HU:pvrThinkPadT500:rvnLENOVO:rn20823HU:rvrNotAvailable:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 20823HU dmi.product.version: ThinkPad T500 dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.8.4+bzr3407-0ubuntu1 version.fglrx-installer: fglrx-installer N/A version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs 20090808ubuntu36 version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.39-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 9.0-0ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 9.0-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 3:1.12.4+git20121105-makson1~ppa2 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev 2:2.7.3+git20120928~quantal2 version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 2:6.14.6+git20120928~quantal1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 3:2.20.8+git20120928~quantal2 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 2:1.0.2+git20120928~quantal1
