description |
I am running on a Dell 1420 laptop with an nvidia 8400 video card, using the latest updates to the 64bit version of Intrepid Ibex. When I'm in X (KDE or even just KDM) the cooling fan spins all the time. The air coming from it isn't hot or anything it just blows all the time. If I switch to a console (not log out, just press CTR+ALT+F1) the fan stops spinning. When I switch back to X then the fan starts spinning again. If I run X with the open source "nv" driver then the fan works as expected (it's off unless the CPU is under load). Also, the previous driver didn't do this, and that was version 177.60 (I believe).
The nvidia driver version is 177.80.

This bug affects mainly Dell 1420 and Dell XPS M1330 laptops, but potentially also other laptops with the Nvidia GeForce 8400 graphics chipset.
Upgrading from previous versions of the Nvidia driver to 177.80 causes the fan to spin constantly or almost constantly. Reverting to 177.76 or 173 stops the incessant fan activity. This is not a problem outside an X session.
Upgrading to a newer BIOS (at least A12) seems to have stopped the fan activity for at least some users. Instructions for upgrading the Dell BIOS can be found here:

There is suspicion that this might be related to faulty Nvidia cards overheating, as reported here:
