[Bug 218315] Re: setting up fancontrol is way too hard

[omac777]

First off I just want to say ubuntu rocks!

This bug came about because I did an update from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu
9.10 and the fancontrol stopped working and now the fan is running at
its maximum noisy speed.   This bug isn't the most critical because the
machine is still running, but it is highly irritable for anyone with
sensitive hearing.

sensors-detect found it87 chipset on the motherboard, 
but pwmconfig did not see a loaded it87 device driver so it reported:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: No sensors found! (modprobe sensor modules?)

In dmesg it says:
it87: Found IT8705F chip at 0x290, revision 3
(09:53:31 AM) omac: [  557.065124] ACPI: I/O resource it87 [0x295-0x296] conflicts with ACPI region IP__ [0x295-0x296]
(09:53:31 AM) omac: [  557.065130] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver.

>From what I understand, the address memory it87 wanted has already been allocated to the ACPI device driver.
But I don't know how to load/use the relevant acpi-it87 driver.

Thank you for listening.
