Actually, thats a good sign. The fan control works, and 65=B0C is OK as CPU=

Temperature. The low figures I gave were a mistake on my part.
It appears that your machine already uses ACPI frequency scaling, so freque=
ncy=20
scaling daemons won't make your machine run much cooler, but they might hel=
p=20
with battery time, you'll have to try that for yourself as I don't use ACPI=

yet.
