Hi All What driver do i need to switch off my fan?
Sometimes my fan seems to hang, at a very high speed, IINM, that is, /sys/devices/temperatures/sensor1_fan_speed in these cases gives me a value of something like 0 (3859 rpm) I'd (wild .. :) guess the second value simply means the number of rounds/min the fan is spinning ... No idea what the first number means. The only chance - so far - to stop the fan in these instances, is a reboot. I'd like to avoid the latter, by simply trying to switch off/on the driver that is responsible for the fan ... So anyone knows the name of this driver? Is there one? Or is it solely a firmware issue? Hints? Kernel is a hand rolled 2.6.26-rc5-53c8ba9 A glance over 2.6.29 Kconfig's let me find hwmon, but that driver does not seem to do anything with my hardware - tho I'm not sure ... I ran sensors-detect which then said lm75 might be driver I need to load ... I loaded lm75, ran sensors, which gave me this: "No sensors found! Make sure you loaded all the kernel drivers you need. Try sensors-detect to find out which these are."
