Hi,

If http://ibm-acpi.sourceforge.net/README codes for thermal apply to the
T60 (first sensor is cpu), then yesterday i was running between 78 - 85
degrees, which i think it's too much.

The load is caused by running sveral apps, and vmware especially. I
don't use Vesa, i go with fglrx.

regards,

Alfredo
