OLD/DEPRECATED/OBSOLETE/DONOTUSE: ASUS Fan control linux kernel module - NOW HERE: https://github.com/daringer/asus-fan
/**
* ASUS Zenbook Fan control module, verified with:
* - UX32VD Zenbook
* - ....
*
* Just 'make' and copy the fan.ko file to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/...
* If the modules loads succesfully it will bring up a "thermal_cooling_device"
* like /sys/devices/virtual/thermal/cooling_deviceX/ mostly providing
* cur_state / max_state
*
* PLEASE USE WITH CAUTION, you can easily overheat your machine with a wrong
* manually set fan speed...

@daringer Thanks for the update. Your stuff works wonderfully on Fedora 21 with kernel 3.17.2! :)

wohooo, I've made something useful :D the recent version adds support for the second fan for the dedicated gfx if there is one ... As there are new Zenbooks announced, which seem to use a similar/identical interface, I'll try to (somehow) push it towards mainstream - but haven't done this before, lets see how far I get before I'll start to cry the first time ;DDD

edit: and stop writing here, fill the issues in https://github.com/daringer/asus-fan with stuff you need ...

how to use all this ?!
made 3 files in a directory and ran make install and it gave me error
makefile:6: *** missing separator. Stop.
i guess i will stop using gnu linux os since hardware manufacturers use gnu linux for themselves to boot a cd or in their hardware tools but dont want to support it.
