It might be good to specify that this is a characteristic of the fan connected to the device's input, so you have to set the value in accordance with the fan model. > + Integer value, typically between 1 and 4. > + RW > + Should only be created if the chip has a register to configure > + the value. You could mention that, in the absence of register (and thus attribute) the value assumed by all devices is 2 pulses per fan revolution because almost all fans do this. > + > fan[1-*]_target > Desired fan speed > Unit: revolution/min (RPM) I'm fine with this new attribute. We'll need support in libsensors too, so that users can change the settings through configuration file + "sensors -s". -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
