--- Comment #15 from Jean Delvare <kh...@linux-fr.org> 2009-09-11 07:18:11 --- Michael, maybe your script is not perfect, but fancontrol itself is pretty vulnerable to changes in hardware monitoring devices on the kernel side. It merely assumes that /sys/class/hwmon entries are always the same and in the same order. When switching from it87 to asus_atk0110, this assumption is no longer correct. This has already been reported here: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=529483 I'm working on this, and future versions of the fancontrol script should be much more robust, but unfortunately it doesn't help with the installed user base. > Note that neither asus_atk0110 driver nor the mentioned kernel command > line works. asus_atk0110 loads but does nothing and does not find any > sensors, and it87 does not load due to that ACPI resource conflict. It is known that the asus_atk0110 driver doesn't work on all Asus boards. However the boot parameter "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" definitely works on all systems, so maybe you made a typo. Please try again. As for Q-Fan, to the best of my knowledge it is only a marketing name on top of ITE's or Winbond's automatic fan speed control technologies. This means that the monitoring chip is programmed at boot time for a given thermal -> fan speed response strategy and there is no reason to poll the registers after that. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
