Hi Dallas, I'm redirecting this to the list, in case it's useful for someone else.

You need to add this line options ibm_acpi experimental=1 to /etc/modules.conf, so that it will happen on each reboot. To get this working before the next reboot, use modprobe ibm_acpi experimental=1 as root. If you take a look at the link I sent earlier, you'll see a version of the tp-fancontrol script that's useful as a Debian init script; if you use that, you then need to make links in the various /etc/rc?.d directories so that it starts in the runlevels you want.
