Vesa driver is worst:
carles@pinux:/proc$ cat acpi/ibm/thermal 
temperatures:   74 50 50 93 46 -128 42 -128 51 66 67 -128 -128 -128 -128
-128
carles@pinux:/proc$ 

I don't think that this is a common value for graphic card.

Tomorrow I will leave the laptop with the screensaver (blank mode,
standby for screen) and check the values.

Is this a reparation (change the GPU thermal paste) that IBM could you,
if it's in the warranty? (for free, I mean) (I afraid to be too much
days without the laptop...)

Thanks,
