Description
Dear maintainer,
I tested eeepc-wmi for a while, but there is a feature I am really missing: There is no real fancontrol with eeepc-wmi possible.
As I am running my EEEPC 1005HGo all the night, the fan never stops running, even when the cpu is cold. At night I forced my cpu to slowest clock frequency with
cpufreq command, so its clock will never raise. Disply is switched off, and only few proicesses are running (network, mail), nothing, where the cpu has to work hard with.
So cpu stays cold. But the fan is still running! When I am using acpi="Linux" at boot, I can control the fan, and in this case, it works fine with eeepc-laptop.
Maybe you can find a solution. Or tell me, what I can change.
Thanks for reading my mail!
Best regards
Hans-J. Ullrich

Sorry, but there is no well defined interface to control the fan on EeePC. eeepc-laptop happens to work for older models, but that is clearly not the case with newer EeePC.
So, if acpi_osi=Linux works better for you, just use that :).
I would really like to provide the feature on eeepc-wmi, but I can't reliably do that without documentation on fan control, and Asus won't send me that.
