HugoI don't know about controlling the fan manually outside of the bios or an Acer approved application, but I do know you can install some tools to stop the fan from being so noisy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=7273893&postcount=59 should still work with the latest Ubuntu.
Thanks Jordon. I have acerfand installed but that only sets the fan to 'AUTO' or 'OFF' and is sort of pervasive, it keeps writing to syslog and it seems to be able to create a race condition.
acerhdf does not compile and what it says in the readme does not seem true: ON: 'echo 1 > /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/cdev0/cur_state' does nothing, it does not turn the fan on. But: 'cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp' does say 67000 Hugo
