Hi all,
Mark Phelps,
unfortunately, after having read a lot of other reports where people mention the same problem, and
also having read comments on the launchpad's bug report, I can only confirm what you already said.
That the kernel fix in 12.04 does not fix this issue.
I have also found out that it looks as though there are two different issues that cause the overheating,
one of these being specific to the Intel's Sandy Bridge architecture and which seems to affect me.
This one is supposably being fixed by the Intel engineers and already in the lates kernel in 12.04,
but does not fix my problem as it looks.
idoitprone,
I though the latest version (3.0) of Bumblebee automatically disables the discrete (nVidia) card,
according to this:

Also, I have tried i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 without any luck, should I try all the three kernel
parameters you posted at the same time? What do the last two parameters do?
Those are my observations, I feel I have simply run out of luck, at this point in time. I will be watching the
kernel development closely in the future and hope for a fix that really fixes the problem. Also, I will
still be very thankful for all the findings posted here or elsewhere on the forum.
Thank you both of you.
Regards,
Veroslav
