Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lm-sensors
pwmconfig claims it can't find pwm-capable sensor modules on an Asus A7V
KT133 motherboard, despite the fact that the fan speed is (according to
what I have read) controlled when running Windows. mbmon has no trouble
returning plausible temperature readings (something like 40±3C).
I ran sensors-detect and these are the modules it decided to modprobe:
# I2C adapter drivers
i2c-viapro
# Chip drivers
w83781d
via686a
This is what pwmconfig says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon# pwmconfig
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. 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.
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed
I did a quick web search and found there were hundreds of people posting
similar problems on various motherboards. Some of them said that this problem
was specific to Ubuntu or to Feisty because it worked for them in SuSE or
whatever.
** Affects: lm-sensors (Ubuntu)
