Control ATI Gaphics Cards Fan Speed in Ubuntu

My 4850×2 was running hotter than I am comfortable with under linux because the fan was set to the lowest speed. After a quick Google search I found a fourm talking about using aticonfig to solve the problem. As it turns out, the command is very simple:

aticonfig –pplib-cmd “set fanspeed 0 100″

where 0 is the card identifier and 100 is the % you want the fan speed to run at.
