I can confirm this bug also on my card: Ati Mobility radeon HD 4500, RV710 I always had overheating problems with the opensource driver, so I used the binary driver from ATI.
Actually with the latest updates the ati-closed-driver doesn't work anymore also on ubuntu 12.04 So the only solution is to install the old LTS from Ubuntu or debian stable. I can provide additional information about my hardware and my issue. This bug was around from a lot of time right now and is potentially harmful about the hardware. Can be possible to correct the bug (at least initially) forcing the driver to "low" profile? it will be less responsive but at least it will be safe to use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1080350 Title: CPU Overheating with ATI driver Radeon HD Mobility graphics To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/1080350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
