Can you please provide a dump of your chip (using > i2cdetect to locate the correct address and i2cdump to do the actual > dump)? I don't know what parameters to pass to i2detect and i2cdump. I've tried some adresses like 002e and lots of others but i don't know which one. I'll take time to read man for i2cdetect and i2c dump. But i don't have time to do it know. OK i realised that /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002e/name contains adm1027 instead of adt7463. Actually, i don't know which one is right since i can't read the name of a chip that is "jailed" in a laptop. Do i have to load the lm85 module with special options like : modprobe lm85 force_adt7463=xxxx What should i put instead of this xxxx ? modinfo lm85 says "list of adapter, address pairs, what does it mean ? > > So now, i can reduce manually the fan speed and have a longer battery > > time. > I admit I am surprised, I never thought that lowering the speed of the > fan could really spare a significant amount of battery. Well, i thought that the fastest the fan turns, the more energy is spent and the shorter the battery lasts. No ?
