[ltp] Fan-problem-solution-proposal

[Florian Dorpmueller]

The script monitors all active sensors provided by ibm-acpi. In a R51 these 
are:

1:  CPU
2:  Mini PCI Module
3:  HDD
4:  GPU
5:  Battery
6:  N/A
7:  Battery
8:  N/A

If one is over MAXTEMP than the fan starts.

The problem with the temperature of the GPU is a construction problem. It 
not cooled well enough. If you like you can compare the temperature of the 
CPU and the GPU and you will see that the CPU temperature goes down very 
fast while the GPU sticks a long time on high values.
