Most are probably using:

I had had some kind of problems trying to use it but most seem to be 
able to use it.
It didn't have source code so I couldn't work with it.  It directly 
interacts with the acpi.psd whereas mine uses the executables that come 
with acpi.  Your more than welcome to work with my code but using the 
acpi toolkit may be more productive.

We have quite a number of T60s and T61s at work and have very few fan 
failures.  R400s we have a lot of issues with.
