If it helps ... I just installed Jaunty (64-bit) on a new machine with a GeForce 9800GT and the Free driver doesn't control the fan. The proprietary driver is OK, but obviously not the ideal solution.
Personally I think this is a hardware issue, as the machine is very noisy until the OS loads the driver. This has put me off buying another nvidia card - certainly until I know that they've managed to control the fan in hardware/firmware. Controlling it purely from the driver seems like a cheap and dirty trick to me. -- Nvidia GeForce 7900GS fan always at full speed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88938 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
