Hi there, at first great respect for your fast answers. I don't think, that the binary ati driver is the problem, because: 1. with switched of "ati radeon display support" in the kernel, the fan control works correctly (and i still using the ati-driver) 2. the fan starts spinning at the boot screen even if the radeon display driver was loaded (and the ati driver is not just loaded yet). Here you see the difference between 2.6.21, when it all works correctly, and 2.6.22 and 2.6.23: the screen resolution of the boot screen changed to the native resolution 1024x768 (in 2.6.21 it still the default terminal resolution) Am Samstag, den 13.10.2007, 20:30 +0200 schrieb Rafael J.
