First of all (as I've read as much as I could of previous posts), I've got here by Googling my laptop model+overheat+ubuntu 9.04. Tried the method on the post previous to this one, but my graphic card isn't supported by fglrx (at least the main version), so when I type "sudo aticonfig --initial", (after installing fglrx, I'm not THAT stupid), the output is "aticonfig: No supported adapters detected"
Here are my symptoms, and as much info as I know (sorry, newbie here) Laptop=Gateway T-1625 CPU=AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-60 Graphic Card=ATI Radeon X1270 OS=Ubuntu 9.04 (32 bits) ,kernell=2.6.28-15-generic Symptoms: Overheat, fan always on, somtimes it shuts down, tried CPU Freq Scaling, but even at th lowest freq (800 MHz), the fan's always on.
