My guess is that the fan isn't on as often as it is in OSX, I don't know
where the control for this is.



On Debian, the fan, once it starts running some minutes after booting the
machine, never stops running until I shut down Linux. The fan's running at
low speed, always. Contrary to Mac OS X, where fan speed is changing from
time to time, IIRC, from "low" to "high" speed, and probably vice versa.
And, again IIRC, in OS X it sometimes even stops running completely for
some time ...
Has anybody an idea of how to get this same functionality in GNU/Linux, i.e. the OSX style dynamic control of a PBG4 12" fan.

Thanks,
