[Bug 563156] Re: [ATI Graphics][Lucid] laptop runs hot, shorter battery life, fan always on

[bartee]

I don't see any proprietary drivers appear on my laptop. (Thinkpad T60,
ATI Mobility Radeon X1300). No fglrx option for for us I suppose: just
go back to 8.04/9.10?

I have to say that the Xorg PPA edgers driver does a better job (not
great but better) especially with the flag dynpm=1 set in
/etc/modprobe.d/radeon-kms.conf

Fan is still crazy fast and temperatures (while playing video) reaches a
max of 70C but generally is between 50-60C (quite high but not
dangerously so).

Any updates from folks at Canonical??
