Do you still use vgaswitcheroo then or do you just use the integrated graphics card and are unable to switch to the dedicated one? If your system is noisy without blacklisting the radeon driver it could be that vgaswitcheroo doesn't work right and associated with https://bugs.launchpad.net/lpbugreporter/+bug/752542 - right?
I also tried blacklisting, but perhaps I've done something wrong because the module still appears in lsmod!? But in dmesg I can read: $ dmesg | grep radeon … [ 3.308864] [drm] Initialized radeon 2.11.0 20080528 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 1 [ 25.990893] radeon: switched off Perhaps vgaswitcheroo still loads the radeon module and ignores my blacklist? With focus on noisyness the entry definitely makes no, or at least no remarkable, difference. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916621 Title: fan of 700Z3A is always noisy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/916621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
