Does anyone know how to control the nvidia fan when using this driver? Its the only thing I am not able to figure out and my video card starts getting really hot after a bit. I have tried sensors and it does not detect anything(fan related). I also did the pci prog, cant remember the name off hand not on my arch box right now. I know the CPU fans are GPIO fans, does that mean the nvidia one is as well and I can not control it? Keeping it on a cooling pad keeps things cool enough, but I would really prefer to keep using this driver for the time being with all the Xorg issues with the proprietary drivers, and I honestly think the nouveau ones are worse than the proprietary, NV has never let me down minus the heat issue on this one laptop.

Thanks for your time don't use xf86-video-nv, use xf86-video-nouveau + nouveau-dri for 3d
Cant I get the worst results using nouveau I have tried multiple times. Thanks though
