Ubuntu and Thinkpad X30: No fan

[Eaves Landry]

It seems taht on my laptop the fan does not kick on under dapper unless 
the cpu temp is so hot that I can barely touch the bottom of the laptop 
with my hand. there are no fan settings in the bios and I have the 
latest bios. acpi must be running but suspend etc work fine. Is there a 
util to control the fan from with linux and if so maybe the temp that it 
is prompted to turn on is set to high?
