Comment 213 for bug 370173

Notice the critical word here: YOUR laptop.

Your hacked workaround (which might be inacceptable to some users too,
next issue "my laptop is to loud running Ubuntu"), does not apply to
many of the users plagued by this problem, as their laptop do not
provide fan control (at all, or at least not under Linux) to software.

Or is that a volunteer offer to implement all potentially missing
drivers (which does not solve the problem for hardware that does not
provide that control at all)?

OTOH, I guess it would be helpful if you could document your workaround,
for people that might benefit from it.
