It's actually hard to say at this point. The freezing has disappeared
quite a while ago, but there is another problem which I still
experience, which seems directly related to what caused the freezes in
the first place. This seems to be an issue on certain chipsets not
handling IRQ's properly. I think the reason there's been no posts on
this as of late is because, while the halting issue is gone, the
overheating persists without a custom DSDT file which 67GTA was quite
helpful in assisting quite a few of us with. I don't think people are
aware that the overheating is from the same issue. Perhaps at this point
a new bug should be started or this one renamed? I wouldn't consider the
custom DSDT files to be a "triage" because the are not readily available
through updates and aren't something an average user can conjure up
themselves very easily.
I have been using the custom DSDT file 67GTA assisted me with creating
since the Intrepid release, and still use it now in Lucid Alpha 3
(10.04). And without it, yes, my laptop still overheats, sometimes to
the point where it slows down so much I have to force a shutdown. Good
thing I've been keeping my custom file on a thumb-drive.
