Re: Toshiba fan (Etch, Tecra 8100)
OK, I'v seen your messages on DebianHelp.org with google search.
And my suggestion
One, try Omnibook driver provided by http://omnibook.sourceforge.net
Anothor, try package 'powersaved', and use powersave to control it.
Maybe 'powersaved' can save you ;-)
Good luck,
Cobalt
