Lubuntu: acerhdf.conf

I correct myself: fancontrol does have to be installed separately.  It 
includes pwmconfig.

When I ran sudo pwmconfig, it reported "There are no pwm-capable sensor 
modules installed."

This despite the fact that sensors-detect *did* find a sensor that it 
could use and configured the coretemp module to load in support of that.

I don't have a conclusion yet, but clearly I would have hoped for 
pwmconfig to find something that fancontrol could govern.
