As long as I've been using Linux, I've had issues with my touchpad. When I start playing a processor intensive game or doing anything processor intensive my touchpad starts to heat up. While this wouldn't bother me, and on cold nights it's nice, shortly after my touchpad starts going bonkers and quits responding to my input. I'm not sure what else to say so I'll put up some info.
I have lm_sensors installed but it doesn't detect any fans. The fans never seem to be on high, and do not put out much heat:

Bump
I've figured out now that the back CPU fan is not going at all.
Edit: Oh, and it works perfectly fine in Windows.

Solved, installed the acpi package. Fan control doesn't work but my laptop stays cool.

I have this same problem (with the added feature that processor activity leads to high temperature and my CPUs being throttled back to 15%), but I've had the acpi package installed for ages. Can you tell me what kernel version you have and anything else you may have done to solve the problem?
Thanks.
