I wish it was that simple. The card is running at normal temperature and it will still lock up.
Good Luck! :) I've got a custom laptop based on a Chembook something model and the cooling fans don't shut off either. I think it's a design thing with the laptops.
it's really weird. With Windows, the fans cycle on and off but with Linux they just stay on. I've also had this same behavior with my inspiron 5000.
/sbin/update-rc.d -f xdm remove should do the trick by taking xdm out of the startup sequence.
thanks! where is the startup sequence? I'm still trying to track down how everything kicks off in Debian. By the way, pointers to documentation for this kind information is quite welcome.
