I own a Dell D630 laptop with Quadro NVS 135M. Previously I had to downgrade to version 173 of the driver (as advised here) to keep the fans quiet. I also stayed with Dell BIOS version A08.

I installed NVidia drivers version 180 and I don't notice the fan problems from version 177 anymore. It seems NVidia people removed the junk code. On the other hand, maybe my chipset was never broken and the driver may detect the faulty chips in a smarter way now - it's possible that people with other NVidia chipsets will still have problems.

Note I did the test with Ubuntu 8.10, but I don't think things are going to change much.
