Hello !
I use an Asus P5B-VM motherboard (w83627ehf chipset) running Debian
Etch kernel 2.6.18. I disabled Asus Q-Fan control in the BIOS. The
fan runs at full speed and are connected to a 3 or 4-pins connector.
I'm unable to control any of the fan using pwmconfig (the outputs are
below).
What should I do to control my fans ?

and pwmconfig:

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.
Found the following devices:
hwmon0/device is w83627dhg
Found the following PWM controls:
hwmon0/device/pwm1
hwmon0/device/pwm2
hwmon0/device/pwm3
hwmon0/device/pwm4
Giving the fans some time to reach full speed...
Found the following fan sensors:
hwmon0/device/fan1_input current speed: 746 RPM
hwmon0/device/fan2_input current speed: 827 RPM
hwmon0/device/fan3_input current speed: 1088 RPM
hwmon0/device/fan4_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
hwmon0/device/fan5_input current speed: 0 ... skipping!
Warning!!! This program will stop your fans, one at a time,
for approximately 5 seconds each!!!
This may cause your processor temperature to rise!!!
If you do not want to do this hit control-C now!!!

Testing is complete.
Please verify that all fans have returned to their normal speed.
The fancontrol script can automatically respond to temperature changes
of your system by changing fanspeeds.
Do you want to set up its configuration file now (y)? n
