Running Debian Wheezy (Testing) on a 2011 MacBook Pro, using the Nouveau driver, the aluminium chassis always seemed hotter compared when it was booted into OSX. Installing and converting to the Nvidia driver fixed this issue.
To change from Nouveau to Nvidia driver:
1. Enable non-free repository
2. Install nvidia-xconfig - this commandline tool configures your xorg.conf for you.
3. Install nvidia-settings - this GUI tool displays information about the driver to confirm the nvidia driver is loaded.
4. Install nvidia-glx - this installs the Nvidia proprietry driver, xserver-xorg-video-nvidia, once installed nouveau will be black-listed.
Note:
* The following error is displayed if you have not configured the xorg.conf to use nvidia driver:
"Unable to load module nv"
