Which means that sensors itself doesn't work. Am I right? This is a known problem, which has two possible solutions: 1* Fix your /etc/sensors.conf file. Copy the default etc/sensors.conf.eg file that match the version you're using, and it should be OK. 2* If it doesn't work, update to 2.8.0 or CVS, we fixed a bug in the parser some weeks ago. > And I got another question! is there plan in lm_sensors to support > writing to fan values, too? the w83627hf chip I have supports that. "Writing to fan values" makes no sense ;) You already should be able to write to the min settings. As for the speed control, it is known as PWM. It *is* supported by our w83781d and w83627hf drivers (one of which you must be using), although it is known not to work properly for everyone. See the prog/pwm in our package, where you'll find the fancontrol and pwmprogram. These are the ones you need in order to have PWM working. Give it a try and let us know how it works for you. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
