Comment 211 for bug 22336

why is this bug still here has 7.04 fixed this bug

why cant you just Let the laptop use its Own built in auto fan control as windows as far as i know norm does not control the fan under norm use unless you loaded an driver or an program to control it, just looks like Linux kernel ACPI or ubuntu is overriding the fan controls (and thermal protection) when the laptop has working one and may damage laptop over long time

i have an T60 laptop to test but i have to Bend it all the time to make it work (looks like it was not put back together right missing screws {not me was given to me}) i fix this laptop (pull it apart and rebuild it) and see if i can get it working fine (boots into XP fine when laptop is bent lol)

if it overheats but Other Linux distros do not its an Problem with the Ubuntu code messing with the fan speeds
