Hi all,
I recently bought a Sony Vaio (VPCSB16FG) laptop which I converted today to
a dual boot setup by installing Ubuntu Oneiric. However, when booted into
Linux, the laptop overheats and the fan noise becomes unbearable, so much so
that I had to shutdown the machine to prevent any potential damage to the
hardware. On logging out to the user selection screen, the fan slows down
but it is still audible. Using Unity 2D instead of 3D seems to help a little
bit though I am yet to extensively test that.
Haven't used Sony Laptops. While setting up on a Lenovo, following is
what I encountered (I'm not using it myself, neither tested it)

It's a post which mentions about "Jupiter" under the "Longer battery
life" section. It also has a further link

Maybe you can derive something from there.
