I don't know with which temperature my laptop went down, but I don't think 80°C is normal. It is really hot. And I can prove it damages the hardware - my permanent (factory) battery capacity went down! I think not only capacity suffers :(

Now as I'm writing you, the computer runs for about an hour and is in 800 MHz powersave state. The CPU temp is (shows) about 61°C...

Michael: your patch doesn't apply my computer and I'm not as skilled programmer, so I'm switching to Fedora this weekend. I've got install medium already.
