Hi, I've been using fancontrol for a while to control my CPU fan. I'm using an Asus P4P800 Deluxe board with a W83627THF controller which has PWM2 wired to control the CPU fan (there are two other headers on the board, but they only report the fan speed, their PWM isn't connected). I switched to 2.6.14 yesterday and noticed today that the CPU fan was stuck at the speed the BIOS cruise control left it at before the w83627hf module was loaded. Changing the PWM value via /sys/bus/i2c/devices/.../pwm2 had no effect. Loading the module with reset=1 fixed things, and I noticed in my logs the request to report its usefulness. I compared the code from 2.6.13 to 2.6.14 and saw the change (and the comment!). So here's a reason why it's needed ;-) I hope this is useful; if you need more info, please cc me, I'm not subscribed to the list. Regards, Stephen Kitt
