You can try to do a crude temp calibration if you want. For that, you need to set the CPU at different frequencies, run a stress tool (like cpuburn from http://users.bigpond.net.au/CPUBURN/), take snapshots of the vt1211 registers at each frequency and do some math to come up with the right values that go into sensors.conf. 1) load the cpufreq drivers: modprobe longhaul modprobe cpufreq_ondemand 2) set the scaling governor and determine available frequencies echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies Determine the lowest, medium and highest frequencies (Fmin, Fmed, Fmax). 3) Set the frequency echo <Freq value from previous step> > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed cat /proc/cpuinfo to check that the frequency indeed did change. 4) Run cpuburn for a couple of minutes until the CPU temperature settles and the temp1_input value doesn't change anymore. 5) dump the following info into a file sensors >> log cat /proc/cpuinfo >> log grep "" /sys/devices/platform/vt1211*/* >> log grep "" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/* >> log Repeat steps 3)-5) for all three frequencies Fmin, Fmed, and Fmax. Zip up the log file and send it to me (in private if you don't want to share the data with the whole list). > > > VIA is known to not use the fan control feature of the VT1211 on its > > EPIA boards.
