performance & fan & heatload & suspend

[Malte Thoma <thoma-xhPu7QH+N+StU9/U+hoEgQ@public.gmane.org>]

Hallo,

for the ACPI-monitor and controller 'heatload' I need a cat of the
'fan' and 'performance' file from the /proc/acpi path.
If you could send me the the 'echo' commands to control the fan and/or 
performance this would be great, too. Or (perhaps better :-) you could 
send me the website, where this (and perhaps more) echo-commands are 
documented.

By the way: What do you think about suspend: should a graphical 
interface should be able to put the computer to sleep (with swsusp)?
I think it would be a good idea, but is this an action only privilegd 
users should be able to, or should EVERY user how is allowd to adjust 
fan/throttling/performance be also allowed to suspend a computer?
( Technical spoken: should there be an extra entry in /etc/sudoers for 
suspend or can the fan/throttling/performancce entry be shared, what do 
you think about it?

Greetings,

Malte
