They are based on the Toshiba linux toolkits. (I was trying to get support for hibernating and while being there wrote these programs) I don't know if they work on your machine but its worth a try. Get it at: http://www.ripe.net/home/mark/files/tosh_fan.tgz Let me know if it works for you. If there is interest for it I can pack things up a little bit more and release it. It's basicly an interface to the SCI/HCI registers that control the hardware.
