fan problem

["benjamin.simon" <benjamin.simon@laposte.net>]

Hello,

I have a problem with my laptop, an Asus L3800S. When I boot, 
if the fans are not already running, they will never work. As 
a consequence, the system doesn't cool down and it halts. I 
wait a few seconds and I start again my computer. As the fans 
are now running (they trigger when it boots), they aren't any 
problem anymore. 
Is there a way to control the fans ? Why don't they start 
running automatically when the system heats ?

I have Debian SID, kernel 2.4.19 with acpi modules loaded.

Thank you for your help.
