I have a T410 and Ubuntu 12.10. All Updates applied.

I did the manual kernel module load and set the fan to disengaged.

With the script here provided I see:

Every 0.5s: cat /proc/acpi/ibm/thermal ; cat /proc/... Wed Jan 16 11:09:39 2013

temperatures: 95 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
speed: 4951
level: disengaged
cpu MHz : 2667.000
cpu MHz : 2667.000
cpu MHz : 2399.000
cpu MHz : 1999.000

Top was 97°C

Fan never goes higher than the value shown... ~4950rpm.
