The contradiction comes from the fact that you are running an old version of sensors-detect. As seen in the changelog, detection of the Maxim MAX6650 was dropped in version 3.3.1 because it was unreliable. And as a matter of fact, it is very unlikely that you have a Maxim MAX6650 in your laptop. > When i launch "sensors" > there is no fan controller. So fancontrol doesn't work. Fan speed control on most laptops is achieved either through ACPI or platform-specific drivers, not generic hwmon ones. sensors-detect doesn't know about these, nor does fancontrol. > Driver `sbs': > * Bus `Radeon i2c bit bus 0x96' > Busdriver `drm', I2C address 0x0b > Chip `Smart Battery' (confidence: 5) FWIW, this is most certainly a misdetection too, as the Smart Battery would be on your SMBus and not your graphics chip's I2C bus. -- Jean Delvare _______________________________________________ lm-sensors mailing list lm-sensors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.lm-sensors.org/mailman/listinfo/lm-sensors
