Yes I installed acpitool under jaunty.. It has an option to force the
fan ON but it complained that the toshiba_acpi kernel extensions were
not installed .... We have to figure out a way to modify this ..
Also in my dmesg output I see Thermal Zone critical setting at 105C but
I don't see passive temperature settings at all..
