Dear developers, I am a little bit confused, how the fan is controlled on an EEEPC 1005HA (which is the same as EEEPC 1005 HGO).
There are two ways I found out. 1. Choice: - Starting grub with the option acpi_osi="Linux" - kernel-module "eeepc_laptop" is loaded - process "fancontrol" is started and reading /etc/fancontrol - executing "pwmconfig" is working - when the cpu is cold enough (below 45 degrees Celsius ), the fan stops 2. Choice - Starting grub WITHOUT the option acpi_osi="Linux" - kernel-module "eeepc_wmi" is loaded - process "fancontrol" is NOT starting - executing "pwmconfig" is NOT working and telling "no PWM hardware existent" - when the cpu is cold enough (below 45 degrees Celsius), the fan NEVER stops - the fan is always running, but with low rpm, and higher rpm are very, very seldom Does "eeepc_wmi" inhibit the process "fancontrol"? What is the recommended choice for this special hardware? I read about two different, which are different controlled, but I do not really know, what my ABI my hardware owns. If I understood it correctly, the option "acpi_osi="Linux" is activating the oder ABI, and leaving it, will force the newer one. Sorry, if I sound dump, but I did not quite understand it, so I will be happy, if someone could enlighten me, how these things are working. Thank you very much for any answers!
