You mean how to control the laptop's fan? That should be automatically
done by the BIOS in join with the acpi capabilities of the computer.

Hum... you mean the integrated GPU gets too hot that makes the system fan
start running? I would first check what are the temperatures of the
available sensors, just in case, maybe is not the GPU driver (nor VGA)
the culprit ("lm-sensors" package and/or "acpi -V" command could help).

There is still the option of getting the package from AMD site and
compile yourself although it is possible that this neither works.
Perhaphs it is worth waiting for the package to be available in wheezy
again :-?
