[Bug 22336] Re: laptop overheats when performing CPU intensive tasks.

[Nikolaus Filus]

Hi, just happened to me on my Samsung P35 XVM1600 notebook with Dapper 6.06.01 (installed 4 days before). I was logged in in Gnome, with mplayer paused in fullscreen. I went away for some minutes, came back and it was reacting on any keypress/event once every tens of seconds. Tried to log into root console to find out more, but was unsuccessfull and the laptop powered off (thanks god!) after around 10 minutes, was extremely hot, but fan was off. Next boot showed 70°C.
Never had this before on Gentoo, even with the patched DSDT with rised fan values.
Power management seems broken on Ubuntu and I have reduced battery life, which seems also to be related to gnome's often polling - but this is another story.
How to provide more infos, without destroying my notebook?
