I was able to use pwmconfig on lucid (10.04) with no problems after I loaded the modules sensor-detect recommends.

Note that many motherboards do not have pwm circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm. We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls. The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you physically verify that the fans have been to full speed after the program has completed. Found the following devices: hwmon0/device is coretemp hwmon1/device is coretemp hwmon2/device is coretemp hwmon3/device is coretemp hwmon4/device is f8000 Found the following PWM controls: hwmon4/device/pwm1 hwmon4/device/pwm1 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) hwmon4/device/pwm2 hwmon4/device/pwm2 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) hwmon4/device/pwm3 hwmon4/device/pwm3 is currently setup for automatic speed control. In general, automatic mode is preferred over manual mode, as it is more efficient and it reacts faster. Are you sure that you want to setup this output for manual control? (n) There are no usable PWM outputs. ma...@hungry:~/devel/ubuntu/kernel$ ** Tags removed: kernel-candidate -- pwmconfig does not work after upgrade to 9.10 on TYAN server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475641 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
