Paul,

	T42, I can install any version of ibm-acpi, the Temperature is not
critical, I just hate a hot CPU.

I want to take control of the fan speed in case that I'm plugged, and I
don't care about noise and I want the CPU to be cooled down. Also, this
would be greatly helpful for when one is compiling a kernel or
something.

There are many reasons involved.

Any idea on how to manually change the fan speed and then let it take
control by itself again?
