Problems with the power management in Fedora

[gustavokrm]

Hello, all!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for the project, it is of real importance and I am really thankful for it. Keep up with the good job..

I am having some trouble with the whole disable-card and power management in Fedora 16.
My laptop is
The temperature is still high ( 65 º C with the card OFF and 78 º C and more with the card ON ) and sometimes the card is not really disabled on boot time, so I have to disable it manually. I compiled things from source following a tutorial found here http://fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=272692

Did I miss something?

Anyway, here is some output that may be helpful..

Do you have logs for a session in which the card is not automagically disabled? You do not need the load_state option if bumblebeed is installed since the driver is loaded before. If you want to use load_state, blacklist the nouveau/nvidia driver.

Well, it turns out that re-doing the whole bbswitch modprobe thing did the trick. I turned the pc on twice and checked the status of the card and it was disabled on boot. The temperature is now 54º C, I just hope it doesn't heat too much. I think this has something to do with the Intel Sandybridge thing..

Thanks, Lekensteyn, for the help here.
