THREE bugs at once?! My usual luck! :)

Let me answer you step by step:

1) I understand. I marked myself as affected and subscribed to that bug. I hope it gets solved soon, since the fglrx-legacy workaround didn't work for me;

2) Ok, so let's keep this as a bug in fglrx-* using HD 5400. Unfortunately, the bios shipped with my notebook really sucks. There's no other word I could use to describe it. I can't change ANYTHING from the BIOS, that's why I meant to play around with switcheroo, but to no avail.

3) Thanks for the tips! The possibility to switch governor totally slipped out of my mind. Though, I can only think of it as a temporary workaround. The main reason why I think it overheats it's because it's keeping both VGAs active. Should I file a new bug report to address my issues while using two cards simultaneously?

Thank you so much for your patience, Christopher. :)
