[02-28-11 15:39]: I have read through the Fancontrol(8) page, but not by looking it up in man pages. It won't show up that way in konsole. I did find it by googling it.
"man Fancontrol(8)" does not work as it is improper context. "Fancontrol(8)" references manpage 8 for fancontrol, ie: man 8 fancontrol or, as there are no other pages: man fancontrol
I think that I was a fluke, I had the commands correct when I tried to access the man pages and they didn't appear. They are available now, however.

I tried to run the pwmconfig shell script, but the result was that it gave the output that there were no sensors controlled by pwm. So it didn't set up the fancontrol.conf file.
you need to setup "sensors" first :^)
I ran the command #sensors-detect and set up sensors, however the result is still the same when I try to run #pwmconfig Here is the readout:
# pwmconfig revision 5770 (2009-09-16) This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm) controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.
We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed.
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
Also, there is no /etc/fancontrol.conf file created.
By the way, I am trying this both on 11.4 and 11.3 on this same laptop, and get the same results when I try to run this command. Am I missing a step between running sensors-detect and pwmconfig?
I am running a zypper dup on the 11.3 installation, and it is updating the kernel from the previous kernel. I found this output in the course of the update, and wonder if it is pertinent: Retrieving: kernel-default-base-2.6.38-rc6.16.1.x86_64.rpm [done (163.5 KiB/s)] Installing: kernel-default-base-2.6.38-rc6.16.1 [done] Additional rpm output: Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-rc6-16-default Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.38-rc6-16-default Root device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-FUJITSU_MJA2320BH_G2_K935T9928D9G-part10 (/dev/sda10) (mounted on / as ext3) Resume device: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-FUJITSU_MJA2320BH_G2_K935T9928D9G-part5 (/dev/sda5) modprobe: Module thermal not found.
