[SOLVED] Thinkpad T61p fan

Question

How do I know if my fan is working like it should? I have cpu scaling, and "acpi -t" gives
Battery 1: charged, 100%
     Thermal 1: ok, 48.0 degrees C
     Thermal 2: ok, 45.0 degrees C
the temperatures look ok, but I'm not really doing much, and it's quite a cold weather today.
Following the thinkwiki, I entered
modprobe thinkpad-acpi experimental=1 fan_control=1
, but what's the daemon or module for this to so that the fan starts up on bootup? does this modprobe thing last permanently or just for this session?

Odd. the summary told me to run "lm_sensors". Anywho, these are the results from "sensors"
