disabling apm idle calls seem to fix it but on this notebook
those calls are necessary so that it doesn't get too hot.
or can ACPI be used to accomplish those calls?

I'm already running it always on SpeeStep power-saving mode
so that it doesn't get REALLY hot. try typing on an Inspiron
8100 in the summer while compiling for a while. it's not
healthy for your hands :D
