That seems to be the message that is reported when
these drivers are loaded.

Probably ok.

On some systems the tzmon kernel driver is used to
monitor system cpu temperature, and tzmon enables
or disables cooling devices (fans) when certain
temperature thresholds are reached.

I've no idea if the Dell Insprion 6000 needs the acpi 
tzmon driver or not...

When this system is idle, does top (or prstat) show
that the system is almost 100% in idle state?

The Dell Inspiron 6000 seems to use a Pentium M
cpu.  On these old cpus, Solaris does not support
cpu power management (intel speedstep), so the
cpu should always run at full speed.

Maybe the trick is to install Casper's frkit.
IIRC, it includes an unsupported intel speedstep
driver for older cpus. When the system is idle
and cpu frequency is lowered the system should
produce less heat...
