Very high noise my Dell Studio 1558 laptop

Hi, it's me again smile I'm after installation and under configuration my Arch smile
Ok, lets start.

My problem is very high noise my laptop. I think this is graphic card fault becouse while I used Ubuntu I had similar trouble. I think so becouse I was installed laptop-mode-tools and it's not helped. Now I am using open source driver xf86-video-ati.
My graphic card is :

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Manhattan [Mobility Radeon HD 5400 Series

Do You think installing ATI closed driver helps?

Can be something other guilty?


I hope You understanding and help me.

Closed-source ATI driver will probaly help, but before this try to set profile in open-source ones. It fixed the problem for me.

echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method
echo low > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile

If low causes instabilities and display problems for you, try mid.

For more info about this, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AT … MS_enabled
My favourite settings are low profile on battery and dynpm on AC.

Unfortunately it isn't help. Maybe something else causes this noise? In the Windows 7 everything is ok, olnly in Arch are troubles.

If it haven't helped then you may try catalyst drivers. I don't have really much experience with them though.

Thanks.
Catalyst drivers helped. I unnecessarily scared them smile Now I can use my Arch how I want ;D

I think all works already.
