That whole bit about the CPU fan might be totally irrelevant after all. As it turns out - that is a different bug: "[fglrx] compiz uses 100% CPU when screen turns off (spinning in glXWaitVideoSyncSGI or glXSwapBuffers)" Bug #969860 that the team is familiar with.

That bug has to do with compiz and this is settings daemon - however they may be the same if cmpiz uses settings daemon under the covers.

The solve for that bug (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11936668) is related to the AMD Catalyst Control Center - in my case I'm using the ATI Radeon5700 graphics driver. Is anybody experiencing this bug not using AMD/ATI.
