http://forums.fedoraforum.org – After installing Linux on my laptop, i experienced overheating problems. If anyone else has this pain in the ass, go to BIOS and uncheck Switchable graphics option, that should solve the problem. This was done using HP Probook 4530s. (HowTos)

Well, this is a painful topic, because I see, that graphic card developers don't want to support Linux environment with their drivers.

I have HP Probook i5-2430M CPU, ATI Radeon HD 6490M/ Intel HD Graphics 3000 and 4GB of RAM.

I tried different drivers but when i do simple tasks, my PC is overheating and CPU temperature goes between 70-80 degrees Celsius.

I have HP ProBook 4530s. In Windows 7 after installing all HP drivers the 6-Cell battery works perfectly for 2+ hours but in Ubuntu 12.10 and now in 13.04 the battery time is not sufficient. It works hardly for 1 or 1.5 hours only. I have installed ATI's Linux Driver for the RADEON card.

Hi all,

using an HP Probook 4530s, which incorporates hybrid Graphics (ATI 6470M+Intel Vga). Am under the impression that I managed to install the proprietary drivers from ATI, but how do I know now which VGA the o/s is using?

I realise there is an older thread on the very subject but that seems to be pretty dead.

I just got a Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop and the fan noise and overheating is pretty ridiculous. This is actually a well known problem with the laptop that is apparently solved with the combination of a BIOS update and the purchase of their 130w charger.
