The cpu fan can not be controled by linux kernel.
The BIOS will switch on the cpu fan a bit above 50 deg. Celsius.
The active and passive trip points both are set to 50 deg. Celsius.
Temperature of the idle cpu at 800 Mhz: 34 to 42 deg. C.
The BIOS never changes the trip points.
Cpufreq does work perfectly.

On my Toshiba M45-S355 (Toshiba Bios, Pentium M 750 - 0.8 at 1.86GHz, Debian Etch) I see the same using Kernel 2.6.21.6

Previously there was the possibility to add something like

echo "100:0:65:70:0" > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/trip_points
echo 2 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/polling_frequency
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

I never do that, but see below (Kernel 2.6.21.6):

cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZCL/trip_points
critical (S5): 105 C

cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/TZCL/polling_frequency
polling frequency: 2 seconds

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
ondemand
