Hi Sven, Thanks for the detailed info. Its good to hear that someone with a C2D has a quiet machine. Could you also post your kernel config? I don't have most of those modules loaded but I'm using someone elses kernel config that they posted and I'm guessing most of those modules are aleady compiled in.
Another thing I should point out is that I use Beryl/Xgl which probably put a lots more load on the GPU. I think I _still_ had a very active fan when I switched off Beryl but I haven't tested it well. I see you're using fglrx but are you also using Beryl or compiz? Will other people responding please also note whether they are using ATIs drivers or the oss drivers and whether they're using a compositing windows manager. Sven, two more questions: does your trackpad work well and how is suspend? I switched to 2.6.20 hoping the track pad would work better but its still a little jumpy (might just be my settings) and I sort of got suspend to ram working but the machine made a weird whiny sound after waking up from suspend. cheers, Sheer On 3/29/07, Sven Anders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > So the question/poll is for those core duo MBP owners (but C2D owners > > should also share their experiences).
