12 Thank you Florian.
13 I just upgraded for 3.2.1 kernel. I have enabled few modules:
14
15 Under drivers/hwmon:
16 acpi_power_meter.ko
17 asb100.ko
18 asus_atk0110.ko
19 atxp1.ko
20 coretemp.ko
21 hwmon-vid.ko
22
23 Under drivers/acpi:
24 ac.ko
25 battery.ko
26 button.ko
27 container.ko
28 fan.ko
29 processor.ko
30 thermal.ko
31 video.ko
32
33
34 I loaded them all for now, and still /proc/acpi/fan is not there. sensor-detect generated the following file (comments removed):
35
36 ============================================================
37 # Load modules at startup
38 LOADMODULES=yes
39
40 # Initialize sensors at startup
41 INITSENSORS=yes
42
43 HWMON_MODULES="coretemp"
44
45 # You should use BUS_MODULES and HWMON_MODULES instead if possible.
46
47 MODULE_0=coretemp
48 ============================================================

102 As you can see, coretemp is loaded.
103 I read on some forums that you can manually control the fan speed.
104
105 I will start some extensive process, to see if the fan will kick.
