Okay, first you must install lm_sensors package and run
$ sensors

command. This will tell you about your fan speed for the processor. 
Next, if the CPU processor is running, determine which driver are you 
using. For this, you need to do lsmod, which lists all the modules 
listed (this should contain your video driver module)

$ lsmod | grep -i nvidia

$ lsmod | grep -i nouveau

At least one the above should return something. nouveau is the open 
source driver.
