We have different points of view. For my part values comming from sensors are changing slowly, that's why interpolation is not a problem, and is even better. You seems that your fan's sensor changes very often. It is surely due to a fan_div not properly configured. Try to multiply the fan_div corresponding to you fan by 2 or 4. For more information, have a look at /usr/share/doc/lm-sensors/doc/fan-divisors With this problem solved, the interpolation should not be a problem anymore. Bye, Aurelien -- .''`.
