I tested a little bit more. As far as I could see, the cooler fan is not running at its required spped, when the cpu is getting hot (i.e. at 65 degresss Cels.) With activated fan control process, the cooler fan is running with full power at this temperature, and stops at 50 Cels. This is how it is configured.
But with loaded eeepc-wmi the cooler fan is never running at full speed. So I see danger for the cpu in possible overheating. Another point is, I looked at the source code. Ok, I am no coder at all, but as far as I could see, it is not giving informations to pwmconfig. So, pwmconfig cannot see any sensors, and fancontrol cannot be started. Of course eeepc-wmi inhibits eeepc-laptop to be loaded, there is no other way for pwmconfig to read sensors (which are wporked with eeepc-laptop). Maybe there is a way, to merge both kernel-modules to a new one? Or just add parts from eeepc-laptop to eeepc-wmi? At the moment I reverted back to the old acpi="Linux"-option in grub, as I fear for my cpu by using eeepc-wmi. Of course, I will be happy to test, if it might help.
