Even if Temp < (1*) This doesn't match the graph page 12 of the ADM1030-A datasheet. If I read it correctly, PWM (4*) applies if (1*) - 5 < T < (1*). > I would just add a file to activate the automatic mode.

I don't know if IT87 or Winbond chips can select that. I guess that "fan1_auto_temp_channel" would be a correct name? Note that I don't have strong opinions on the names except that they must be standardized and self-expressive. The more important (and difficult) problem is to ensure that all known chips (and it possible future ones) will fit into the chose interface. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
