Though, it does not trigger when it's up and running, no matter how hot=

Maybe the thermal control module prevents it from overheating. Have you
tried unloading it or loading it ASAP on bootup to see if that makes any
difference either way?

I'm not sure how that works. Can I unload the framebuffer module? I mean,
when I unloaded it, how does the console access the display?
Your suggestion might be less trivial to do than it sounds like. :)
I currently have compiled the stuff into the kernel image.
