I guess that GPU is 87?
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Thermal_Sensors
"ThinkPad T60"

I'm using ATI driver:
----------
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.47.3
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Release Identifier: UNSUPPORTED-8.471                    
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Build Date: Feb 25 2008 21:22:09
----------

I will switch to Vesa (for testing) or update.

Thank you, I will update the results here.
