In the console, as root, can you:
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_cur_delayinfo | grep Lowest
then echo that value into the max freq file, e.g.:
$ echo 400 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_max_freq
then try logging in and doing stuff. If that fixes your fan issue, it
means the GPU frequency is to blame. I think Eugeni is working on a
nice API to let users control perf vs power a bit better than our
current default of "try to run as fast as possible under any load, even
a tiny one".
