Ever since I last upgraded my Ubuntu system, believe it was to 16.10, I've had severe overheating issues. Now I've upgraded again to 18.04.1 and I still have the same issues. I thought it was simply because my laptop was getting old and it was hardware related. I then tried running Fedora 28 and realized that I had no issues at all when it came to temperature. After some digging I'm thinking it might be because of Ubuntu moving to using a more modern Intel modesetting driver that renders 2D on the GPU as well as 3D. I have an older laptop using Intel HD Graphics 3000 which I believe is overheating because of this.
I'm not all too familiar with how this is configured and what options I have. All I seem to be able to find is info on how to tweak the active Intel driver for performance but none on how to enable the legacy driver.
Any ideas on how I can enable the legacy driver to see if this is what's causing the problem?
