If it helps ...

I just installed Jaunty (64-bit) on a new machine with a GeForce 9800GT
and the Free driver doesn't control the fan. The proprietary driver is
OK, but obviously not the ideal solution.

Personally I think this is a hardware issue, as the machine is very
noisy until the OS loads the driver. This has put me off buying another
nvidia card - certainly until I know that they've managed to control the
fan in hardware/firmware. Controlling it purely from the driver seems
like a cheap and dirty trick to me.
