For lucid the open source ATI drivers do not handle power-management of the GPU well. It is slated that this will be fixed in 2.6.35 final though that is not 100% cirtain. It is believed that using the fgrlx binary drivers would work round this as they do handle power-saving. It is worth at least trying these drivers to confirm that the overheating is related to the GPU. If you could test and report back here.
