2.6.27-7-generic, latest 8.10 stable. T61 (T8300). Fan cannot reach more than 3800 RPM ever. The only way to make it spin faster is to use disengaged mode, when it can reach ~5500 RPM. It should be default behaviour under heavy load.

Under Ubuntu fan:
- works always
- always at about 3300 RPM
- never reaches more than 3800 RPM
- is unable to chill it down while eg. watching HD movies and couses system to halt
- is *too slow*

AFAIR it worked fine on some of the first 8.04 (while it was alpha).. Fan could reach 4400 RPM at normal work. Now (under 8.10) I'm unable to make it.

Idle temeratures (while writing this words) are 51/58 Celcius degrees with fan control being set to auto (3306 RPM).
