Switch both fans if the 'gpu' sensor is in fact not near the GPU, leave as is otherwise...

Won't be done in a few lines...

No idea, I just looked in the source to get the right values when I first implemented the driver. my iBook did never boot OS X :) -- Colin "If you can't beat your computer at chess, try kickboxing."
