"Fan divisor" is an obviously misleading term, but well, that's how chipset makers call it so we stick to it. > Well, the changing of the Fan's speed works in Windows with Speedfan > on that Board, so its supported by the hardware.. About the user > space tools, do they do anything different than changing the pwms? First they help you figure out which fans are controled by the PWM pins (pwmconfig) and which temperature channels are associated with these fans, then they regulate the fan speed automatically according to the temperature measurements. Much similar to what Speedfan does I guess, except that this is through shell scripts, without a GUI. > >Note that we have another driver for the W83627THF but it hasn't been > >ported to Linux 2.6 yet...

FYI the kernel is written in C, not C++. But if you don't know C at all, I agree that you can't possibly port the driver. In this case, you'll have to be patient until someone else does. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
