Have been playing with OpenSolaris on the laptop again and, have discovered that the although SpeedStep is not supported on my old Dothan Pentium M using the Solaris Speedstep drivers. The frkit seems to allow the acpi to combine with the Gnome CpuFreq to step my CPU successfully.
So now I have CPU speed stepping which stops my laptop toasting me to death when i use it under OpenSolaris.
Still waiting on 6644080 to be fixed in build 95 so I can see if suspend will work though.
