Description of problem: Fedora 11 x86 or i386 live cd/install on a Asus F8s with an Ati Mobility HD2600 card overheats when using the RadeonHD drivers. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): The one shipped on F11 live cd and the latest one on updates. (Sorry I cannot specify but had to downgrade to F10 to use the proprietary drivers) Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pop your live cd into the cd drive. 2. Boot. 3.Wawww Fedora!!!! 4. Install the gnome sensor applet and check the cpu temperature. 5. Watch it rise above 100ºC and be afraid. Actual results: Laptop Fans go berserk trying to cool down the laptop. It eventually overheats and the kernel forces a shutdown. You can boot again to see several messages complaining about the temperature. Expected results: Cold and cool laptop running the latest Fedora. Additional info: My guess (an uneducated guess) is that for whatever reason the graphic card fans aren't working causing the card to overheat and being a laptop the heat spreads everywhere. Using the ATI or Radeon drivers causes the same problem. (Do they use the same code to support this card?). You have the same behaviour on an updated F10. I was an early adopter of F10 and used the open drivers (no alternative) and didn't had this problem. Then I changed to the proprietary ones for more functionality and never went back until F11. When I downgraded to F10 I tried once again the open drivers and got the mentioned issue. This is a very serious bug. It blocks F11 from users using this card and F10 for those who don't want to use ati's proprietary drivers. I'm not reinstalling F11 until this is solved or the proprietary drivers become available but I can always boot the live cd for testing. So if you need more info or testing on my part, do no hesitate to ask. Francisco Mendonça
I am quite certain the Live CD is not shipping the xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd package with the radeonhd driver. Reassigning to the xorg-x11-drv-ati package which ships the radeon driver, which is the one Fedora officially supports.
The priority should be to make sure Fedora's kernel and default userspace driver bits work together well out of the box. radeonhd can come second.
Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages. For packages from updates-testing repository you can use command yum upgrade --enablerepo='*-updates-testing' Alternatively, you can also try to test whether this bug is reproducible with the upcoming Fedora 12 distribution by downloading LiveMedia of F12 Beta available at http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/nightly-composes/ . By using that you get all the latest packages without need to install anything on your computer. For more information on using LiveMedia take a look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD .

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
