Hello all--
I have a old Radeon HD 2400 graphics card in my desktop connected by DVI to my monitor.
It may be my imagination but it seems that since upgrading to 6.8 recently, after about 4 hours of use, my system seems to run "hot". I don't think its the man power until but maybe the graphics card? I found references to odd/high power consumption with radeons an particular kernel/radeon versions.
And, now I find this old post: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=17948
So 6.8 is 2.6.32-642.1.1.el6.i686
Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions?
Please ignore this. After further research, it is likely a fan problem with my old card. :( Time for an upgrade!
The proprietary radeon driver is not available for the current version of X.org distributed with 6.8.
