The nouveau driver cannot control the fan. Neither under NetBSD nor
under Linux.

With Linux you have the choice of the proprietary (binary only) driver
from NVidia.

NetBSD 9, Nouveau and Fan Control

Hi;
I guess you can. we had the same problem under the kernel on linux which relates to a table being removed from the new nouveau driver. I didn't get solved.
maybe; if you can; use an AMD card?!


 


 

NetBSD 9, Nouveau and Fan Control

[Matthias Petermann]

Hello everyone,

I tried to install NetBSD 9.0 on my Gamer PC and just noticed that the 
fan of the graphics card sounds like a jet engine.


The graphics card is a NVidia GF108 based GT430. The kernel is using the 
nouveau DRM module.


Is there any way to take over fan control at any level in NetBSD or 
should I look around for a passively cooled card?


Best regards
Matthias
