Same here on Dell Studio 1555 notebook running Ubuntu Maverick x64 with kernel 2.6.35-22 generic. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570. GPU temperature is around 50 with proprietary drivers and 70 with open source drivers. My battery life is also taking a massive hit, with the usual 6 hours down to ~3.5 hours. Don't want to give up the open source driver as the overall performance is better except for this issue.
