Bonjorno Fabio,

Yes I can accurately attest that my laptop ( L305D -S5881 AMD 64 bit) is
working very well without overheating and that suspend/resume works very
well. This never happened before for over 1.5 years.
Even my compiled kernel 2.6.30 couldn't get the suspend/resume or Fn
keys to work right.

The most crucial step was upgrade to 9.10 which runs
   -- 2.6.31-22-generic #61-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 02:02:56 UTC 2010
x86_64 GNU/Linux.

Please try downgrading to the 9.10 with this kernel and hopefully you
will have success.
Prior to this I felt Ubuntu was unusable! since the overheating was a
bit too much. If you touched the laptop
your hand would feel as though you have touched a hot plate !.

Thanks for letting me know that Lucid has this problem.. which means I
will not upgrade until someone confirms that
it is ok.!

Cheers and good luck
Peter
