I'm seeing the opposite. Using the open source driver for ATI cards the laptop gets hot straight away and the fan kicks in. Using fglrx (the proprietary driver) I have no trouble at all apart from Plymouth being at a very low resolution. I wonder if we have two separate problems here, one affecting those with ATI and the other affecting those with Intel graphics chips
