I have a similar model which also gets very warm. The fan runs at a
medium speed all the time. What processor does your laptop have? The AMD
Athlon can operate at 95 degrees, which explains the hot air!
If you select "ACPI" support you will get a program called acpi which
prints out the temperature if you type "acpi -t". KDE also has a battery
status icon and the off switch will suspend the laptop. Not as good as
Windows but a start
