Package: lm-sensors Version: 1:3.1.1-4 Severity: wishlist Currently, fancontrol allows a fan to be controlled by one sensor only. This may, however, not always be enough. When testing, I am easily able to create a temperature difference between Athlon 64 "Brisbane" cores exceeding 20 °C, and it seems likely that larger differences are possible, as well. It is also possible for a fan to be set up to cool more than one chip, which would greatly increase the possible temperature difference even further.
It would be nice if fancontrol allowed a fan to be controlled by more than one sensor - it could calculate the fan speed based on a reading of each sensor in a group and choose the greatest value. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable'), (300, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=pl_PL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages lm-sensors depends on: ii libc6 2.9-25 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libsensors4 1:3.1.1-4 library to read temperature/voltag ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii perl 5.10.1-5 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii sed 4.2.1-3 The GNU sed stream editor lm-sensors recommends no packages.
