I'm having a similar problem on "generic" notebook with a Pegatron motherboard. The notebook/motherboard seems similar to the BenQ Joybook S57. The fan works on the Mandriva 2009.0 that came installed with it and (!) with linuX-games-live 0.9.4. Booting Ubuntu with acpi=off seems to keep the fan on/reasonably fast for some time. Any files I could post from these system which could be useful for comparison? One thing I noticed is that Mandriva show lower temperatures _and_ trip points. Right after a cold boot:
