I've worked out how to use 'collectd' to collect temperature and fanspeed statistics. It requires the lm-sensors, collectd and rrdtool packages. I've attached the configuration files.
I run 'eeepc-rrd-graph.sh' (attached) when I want to check up on what's happening. I suppose I could put it in cron. Working out how to graph RRD data was the only painful part of all this.
*I'm using 'fancontrol' on my netbook. (Settings file attached.) I've noticed that my netbook's fan turns on at 1500RPM, once the temperature gets to 55 degrees C, and never turns off. Either the settings mimic EEE PC 701 hardware fan control very closely, or fancontrol is not actually doing anything. I haven't experimented with it much yet.
