Bug Description
I have a TOSHIBA L305D-S5881. This runs Vista and Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.0.4
The laptop definitely overheats in Ubuntu only. ( Temps > 66 C with nothing running).
Overheating does not occur with Vista.
acpi -t ( reports temps > 66 C ).
Installed acpitool to force Fan on . ie ( acpitool -F 1 ) ( option only for Toshiba).
The output is "Forcing the fan of/off is only supported on Toshiba laptops.
No Toshiba ACPI extensions were found. "
Please advise
Thanks
Peter William

Upgraded to Jaunty and temps start a bit lower now..
But still spikes to 75C.. from time to time..
Is this normal ?
And fan default status is still OFF.
Please make this work for Toshiba users..
Are Toshiba extensions available for Jaunty users?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
