Bug Description
Binary package hint: i8kutils
I run 9.04 amd64.
i8kfan always returns '-1 0', and never spins the fan
$ i8kfan 2 2
-1 0
...and the fan always stay quiet.
The fans will turn on, but only until the CPU gets to about 70C. I suspect that is the bios kicking in.
i8kmon -v reports the state correctly, but it's clear that the calls to /usr/bin/i8kfan do nothing. I use the default config, and have tried other /etc/i8kmon files from forums etc.
