Well this Fintek chip doesn't look too impossible; 1.27 mm pitch I guess. The docs say that Fintek provided a datasheet; does someone have a copy of it that they could send me? Or just let me know the pin numbers for the PWM outputs, and what sort of outputs they are? > Alternatively, you could use a i2c PWM controller (that is of course > supported by lm-sensors) and hook it up to the boards I2C bus, Mini > ITX typically have it exposed on a header. Yes, good idea, I'll investigate. I don't suppose anyone knows of a ready-made module or anything like that? Phil.
