Bug Description
Binary package hint: acpi
Edgy on my ThinkPad Z60t doesn't manage its temperature very well. It is enough to leave the laptop alone just with inactive Firefox running and the temperature rises soon at dangerous 93°C (200°F). That causes the fan to speed up, however only to keep the temp at the same 93˚C. The average temperature is also higher than it should be, eg. when playing Wormux it rises above 72˚C.
I tried to fix the problem by using fan speed script ( http://
from ThinkWiki but with no result, because ibm-acpi module ( http://
did not work correctly for me
($ sudo modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1
returns something like "access denied")
It also might be connected that the CPU frequency never drops bellow 800MHz.
I hope the bug is caused by acpi as I fillwd it, please let me know what files I might provide.

We'll start with the assumption that this is an ACPI problem, and seek the usual ACPI debugging information.
Please update the report with the output of the following commands:
