I am using fancontrol for my new EeePC, and when fancontrol exit (when I reboot for example) the fans are set to manual mode at full speed.
Aparently, the source code of fancontrol first tries to set the fan to safe mode, and if it doesn't work, set it to manual at full speed. Apparently, the EeePC safe mode is the same as automatic mode. So when we write "0" to pwm1_enable, if we read it again, we'll see "2".
I could find information about EeePC fan control here: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/64435/
To enable automatic mode at exit, I changed fancontrol with the following patch:
--- /tmp/fancontrol 2010-04-25 09:31:58.394184626 +0200
+++ /usr/sbin/fancontrol 2010-04-25 09:21:24.161183983 +0200

# Try pwmN_enable=0
echo 0 > $ENABLE 2> /dev/null
- if [ `cat $ENABLE` -eq 0 ]
+ if [ `cat $ENABLE` -ne 1 ]
then
# Success
return 0
Do you think this change is worth including it for the next version of lm-sensors ?
Thanks.
Mildred
