fancontrol just cats stuff to the sys files for PWM, you could do that manually.
however, Athlon XP's tend to run on the hot side, especially the older ones, so lowering the fan speed may make it...
there are other ways besides PWM to control the fan speed, and fancontrol doesn't support those ways.

starfry: that means you don't have any PWM enabled hardware, or the hardware you have has no linux driver. you simply can't use fancontrol because your hardware does not have fan speed control...
