Now that I booted from 2.6.22-rc5 to 2.6.23-rc2 I noticed that ksensors displayed 1/16 of the actual speed of the CPU fan (correct is ca. 1400 RPM under light load) and 0 for the case fan (correct is ca. 480 RPM under light load). I reverted patch hwmon/w83627ehf: No need to initialize fan_min and the behaviour changed as follows: ksensors displays the correct CPU fan speed when loaded for the first time after the w83627ehf was loaded, then drops to 1/16th the next time it refreshes the display. (I configured 30s update interval in ksensors.) But the case fan's speed is now correctly displayed all the time. Ksensors' fan speed multipliers are configured as 1. I then also reverted hwmon/w83627ehf: Be quiet when no chip is found hwmon/w83627ehf: Export the thermal sensor types hwmon/w83627ehf: Enable VBAT monitoring hwmon/w83627ehf: Add support for the VID inputs hwmon/w83627ehf: Fix timing issues hwmon/w83627ehf: Add error messages for two error cases one after another but it didn't change anything. More surprisingly, if I put all patches including "No need to initialize fan_min" back in, the behaviour remains like after referting that single patch, i.e. wrong CPU fan speed after first display update, correct case fan speed. I didn't reboot between tests though, I only unloaded and reloaded w83627ehf. I wasn't able to revert hwmon/w83627ehf: Convert to a platform driver to something that compiles but I didn't try very hard. Kernel messages when I load the drivers: w83627ehf: unsupported chip ID: 0xffff w83627ehf: Found W83627EHG chip at 0x290 The former message is normally suppressed by patch "Be quiet when no chip is found". Mainboard is an MSI 945GT Speedster-A4R, userland is Gentoo's lm_sensors-2.10.1 and ksensors-0.7.3. Booting back into 2.6.22-rc5 (which seems identical with 2.6.22 as far as w83627ehf is concerned) brings back the correct fan speeds. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== =--- --=-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/
