Bug Description
I installed i8kutils and added i8k to my /etc/modules. Now i8k values show up in sensors-applet for both fans, but either i8k reports them incorrectly or sensors-applet interprets them incorrectly, because it says my fans are going at more than 200,000 RPM. Since the sensors-applet graph maxes out at 100,000 for some reason, I can't display them on the graph.
i8kctl gives:
1.0 (null) 86JQQ51 61 2 2 230520 167640 0 2
the "230520 167640" are the fan speeds, and are interpreted by sensors-applet as RPM values. The tooltip says things like "226980RPM"

Oh wait. http:// people. debian. org/~dz/ i8k/00- README says that the speed is RPM ("8. right fan rpm"), so i8k is reporting the wrong values.
