[Bug 200449] Re: i8k fan speed values are wrong

[mihai007]

Hello again!
That was fast, I know but I think I found the solution:
it seems that i8k is using a I8K_FAN_MULT=30 multiplicator for the fan speed, but newer motherboards already does that, so if using the gnome sensors applet adjust the sensor value multiplier under it's preferences at "0.033" ( the value comes from 1/30).

Now my fan speed is 3005RPM which is a way more trusted value indeed!

Where I got this stuff from: http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/3/12/155

Now the question is how could the i8k be patched not to show the value
multiplied on certain motherboards/bioses?
