Aha. So there's a chance.

But still your drivers don't seem to play along. Hm.

Ahem... it seems I was wrong: the third pin in three-pin conector seems
to be tacho (i.e. speed feedback), not PWM [1]. The PWM is the fourth
pin, which on a three-pin connector is the... oh, wait.

Whether three-pin fans can be even be RPM controlled is an open question
(the DC feed could be modulated, I guess, but I don't know whether it
is actually done).
