You may have an external chipset used to check temperatures and

control

the fan.

sure. there's an external chipset for temperature and fan control.
Under Macos X, i've set and get values from it several times...but
what about linux ?

Well, under 2.6 kernel, you can use the therm_adt7467 module
(CONFIG_THERM_IBOOKG4 configuration option, under Drivers/Macintosh).
It'll create some entries in /sys:
/sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_temperature
/sys/devices/temperatures/gpu_temperature
/sys/devices/temperatures/fan_speed
These display the informations you want.

/sys/devices/temperatures/cpu_limit
/sys/devices/temperatures/gpu_limit
These display the maximum temperatures before fan starts.
