The lm85 driver is the correct driver for the ADT7463. The problem you have is that you're using a version of lm85 that does not include the fan speed control functionality. The initial port of the lm85 driver to the 2.6 kernel did *not* include the fan speed control features. They were added later (a couple of months ago.) with a patch. Unfortunately, I don't have the patch handy. It was submitted to Greg KH for inclusion in his trees and from there should have made it's way into the Torvalds tree. If you search the lm_sensors archives, you should find the patch. Alternatively, you might be able to get it from a GregKH kernel on kernel.org. Lastly, you might need a 2.6.10 or later kernel to get the additional functionality. Then the pwm1_zone settings in sensors.conf will work. Until you upgrade the driver, they won't. :v) christophe wrote: >-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- >Hash: SHA1 > > > >>>It doesn't seem to set fan speed at a low rpm (not less than 3000 rpm, >>>that's too fast) as i expected, but it might be due to my inappropriate >>>settings...
