Bug Description
On Dell Vostro 3560, ArchLinux, Kernel 3.18.6-1-ARCH
i8k module reports two temperature sensors and used "temp1" which is zero, meaning the fan is never activated.
It seems "temp2" shows the correct temperature (CPU?)
The module must support selecting the master temperature to use for controlling the fan.
$ cat /proc/i8k
1.0 A11 4PLVFS1 0 -22 1 -22 84000 -1 -22
$ sensors
i8k-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
fan2: 84000 RPM
temp1: +0.0°C
temp2: +52.0°C
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Physical id 0: +57.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 0: +50.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 1: +53.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2: +51.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 3: +57.0°C (high = +87.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
At the moment i8kmon only reads CPU temperature to operate, but the claim is right as it might be possible to include other sensors to be monitored.
The bug report will be put as wishlist.
