[Bug 22336] Re: laptop overheats when performing CPU intensive tasks.

[Michele Campeotto]

Yes, I get similar problems on a P4 desktop. We have three identical
computers (Acer 7600GT with NVidia FX6600) running Dapper here and two
of them have this problem.

$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
critical (S5):           90 C
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/cooling_mode
<setting not supported>
cooling mode:   critical
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency
<polling disabled>
$ cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/state
state:                   ok

I just tried disabling powernowd so see if it helps.
