One guy in the fglrx perf bug said the main reason he uses fglrx and not the open source driver is because the -ati driver is running his GPU fans on full power _all the time_ which I can imagine is really annoying. He said it was even higher priority to him than getting nice 3D perf. Does ubuntu-x own such bugs or not? I'm asking this in particular because while googling around I found this on ideastorm which is a pretty nice idea that suggests that GPU fan control be moved into the kernel because otherwise the fans usually go "all in" until you get into X and the X driver can turn them off: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/5852/ (however, I assume the existence of this ideastorm entry means that the xorg team currently owns all of the bugs, no? I wonder how that works out in server like scenarios like "home media center" or whatever.. that must be painful) As a first step, how about adding a LP tag for bugs relating to fans?
