how to set custom temp ranges with acpi or other method

[apexofservice]

Hello,

My laptop (tosh satellite) fan comes on atabout 50 or 51C and goes off at 43.

I'd like for it to come on at 45C stay on until more like 35C--at least as long as I'm on AC power.

I'd love some help with this one. I've tried to modify some of the acpi thermal zones files, but to no avail (even as root).

Let me know where to start.
