Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6-686
When using Kubuntu on my macbook, after an hour or so, i can hardly touch the bottom of the laptop, it's really hot, especially on the left side. When i reboot to MacOS X and check the cpu temperature with CoreDuoTemp, it's 68-69°. Leaving MacOS X running slowly brings down the temperature to +- 58-60°. The bottom panel of the laptop is also a lot cooler when touching it. ( still pretty warm, but no more tinteling 'damn, i'm going to burn my skin!' feeling :)
Changed in linux-source-2.6.15: | |
