Comment 145 for bug 751689

> It isn't don't care so much as it is that the bug lies in the laptop's bios, not linux.

I'm not competent to say whether it's in the bios, but for the sake of discussion I can accept that. But it's noticeable that some of the reports here are indicating that things were better in the past, then got worse with later revisions of Ubuntu. Doesn't that indicate that, regardless of "where the bug lies", there is the possibility of working around it outside the bios? Phillip, I don't feel you should dismiss Mark so hastily.

That all said, clearly it's a problem that will be difficult for developers to reproduce, and which factors such as exact hardware revision, bios revision, thickness of fluff in the fan duct (!) and much else will all influence. Good accurate reporting will be needed.
