Comment 23 for bug 1349176

fix is not working on 14.10: I just tested the last version `i8kutils-1.42-45` unfortunately I still face same lag issue

However I think there are some possibility to improvement since the issue looks to be related only to the fan functionality.

Some info that maybe useful:

on my system dell inspiron 14z the lag is caused only by the fan control/read so the following command trigger the issue:
- `watch i8kctl fan - 2`
- `watch sensors`

I was able to fix the lag with sensor disabling the read of the fan speed add this file `/etc/sensors.d/dell.conf` with the following content:

chip "i8k-virtual-0"
 ignore fan2
