(Get the code!)
Since yesterday I started to use thinkfan with the patch applied from the Debian bug report. This does the trick for now, but I really would like to see a fix for "level auto" in thinkpad-acpi.
@Mikhail:
It seems common that level 7 (seems the highest) is indeed only halfway the full speed of the fan on a T61p. This has been the case ever since I got this laptop for Linux (3 years now) and is also described on the Thinkwiki webpage somewhere.
If you're not capable of controlling the temperature even with highest fan speed you should check your hardware; then it's not a Ubuntu/software bug. See also my post above.
