I made the switch from Vista Ultimate to Ubuntu 7.10 a few days back, and I'm noticing that my cpu fan has been going nuts!

It maxes itself out for a bit, then calms down.. then repeats itself.

I had Vista installed for 5 months and never heard the cpu fan, or any noise from my case.. now, it's all I can hear while on the computer.

I've got a 25cm fan on the side of my case that runs almost silent, but is keeping my case nice and icy.. if I stick my hand in the case, it's nice and cool in there..

Any ideas?

I know it sounds odd, but I feel like it might have to do with Ubuntu, since this just started when I switched over.

Sounds like the fan controller in Ubuntu is going crazy. You might be able to get something like this to work,

Didn't work

However, you led me to an article which mentioned how to get my side-buttons working on my mouse again.. unfortunately, that didn't work either.. because the guide is for Dapper, and I have Gutsy, but the guide for Gutsy got the buttons working great.. so thanks

Still stumped about the fans, though..
