    turning powerbook [99 lombard] cpu fan on

    I would like to be able to control the cpu fan
    on a powerbook. My yellowdog 3.01 lombard
    usually runs around 60 C and I've seen it get
    as high as 85 C during a compile. I've never
    heard its fan turn on.

    I'm told it will come on when necessary and
    that the machine will shut itself down on time
    if too hot, but . . .that's not enough. I've
    heard that when it does come on under linux
    that then it will only run at full speed and
    then it won't go off again after cooling, but
    if so, we can make that a separate problem
    for later.
