Hi I have a laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 4000), I'd like to control the cooling fan manually.
How do I do that? /proc/acpi/fan/ is empty, the fan is otherwise working well.
Distro is Fedora 14.

The fujitsu_laptop module dans control acpi for Fujitsu-Siemens laptops does not appear to have fan control code (as of today) see:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-laptop.c
(You can look at the thinkpad acpi code in the same directory, it has a fan subdriver)
I don't think it's possible to achieve what you want to do with your hardware.
