[Bug 52852] Re: MacBook gets extremely hot under Linux

[martinbures]

I have a fully updated Edgy system and it gets very hot when running
idle and I get about 1/2 the battery life of what I can expect in OS X.
I found this and tried it:


http://wiki.debian.org/MacBook

CPU frequency scaling is governed by SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO kernel module.

echo speedstep_centrino >> /etc/modules

So I tried it.  It seems to make a bit of a difference.  It definitely
cooled the thing down in my lap a little bit.  I would say that I
probably get an extra 30 minutes of run time.
