Hi,
I've recently noticed that my notebook's fan becomes too noisy and the surface near the radiator becomes hot in several minutes after launching X server with Gnome 2. It remains hot even if I'm not doing anything and even if the lid is closed.
In experimental purposes right after that I rebooted into Win 7 (forgive me) and the fan stopped spinning too fast in 1 minute so I could barely hear it. The surface also became cold.
Could somebody advise what could be wrong with my system ? Is it due to the fact that there is no Dell specific ACPI module for FreeBSD or what ? I'm not using Compiz also.
My hardware is Notebook Dell N5110, with a twin graphic card (Intel + Nvidia, Optymus technology) and I'm using the experimental KMS driver dated of May 2012 (I heard there is a newer one).
Thanks.
