[SOLVED]Thinkfan_acpi not supporting fan_control

Edit: had to disable intel_agp, but fan came up fine and is following thinkfan.conf rules. Haven't tried ati_agp yet. This is a Thinkpad R60 Intel 1.83 core 2 duo / x1400 ATI machine.

I can't seem to figure this out. I reformatted my disk and partitions and now am struggling to get fan control working again.  Modprobe, modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, rc.conf, # modprobe all seem to fail. I had this working initially, both via /etc/thinkfan.conf and echoing to /proc/acpi/ibm/fan manually, but something seems to have changed, possibly rebuilding mkinitcpio after installing uswsusp and fbsplash.

This is the vanilla 3.0 kernel. I'll compile a stripped-down one later and see if that helps at all (chance in hell)

#
# /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf (for v2.6 kernels)
#
# Enables fan control daemon
options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1

####### mkinitcpio.conf######
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="intel_agp radeon"

Is this a conflict with radeon or intel_agp? For whatever reason I just can't seem to get this working again.
