Hi there, I've been having same experiences as most of you - overheating my notebook under linux even whet it was left idle. Under Vista there was no problem. Recently my problem was fixed by updating BIOS to latest version and adding "acpi.power_nocheck=1" option to boot line.
Now I can run under linux with no problems. Thought notebook is still little warmer than when using Vista, but I don't think that it is more than 5°C. Distro that I am using is: Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64 Notebook model is: Toshiba Satellite U500-10L hope this will be useful for somebody... PS: what I think about this is that manufactures should be more aware that there are also other OS than Windows, so their BIOSes should be valid according to given standards.
