For fan control, you will need to setup lmsensors first, then the fancontrol utility. I'm assuming that your distribution includes this software and it just needs to be configured. Otherwise, you will need to install the lm_sensors package (which includes the fancontrol utility).
To setup lmsensors, run:
sensors-detect
Follow the instructions, and make the necessary changes to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and /etc/modprobe.conf.
Once that's done, you can setup the fan control.
There may be a bug in the pwmconfig fancontrol setup utility, that you may need to patch. Once you successfully run pwnconfig, you will have a /etc/fancontrol file, which will look something like this:
Code:
INTERVAL=5
FCTEMPS= 2-0290/pwm2=2-0290/temp2_input
FCFANS= 2-0290/pwm2=2-0290/fan2_input
MINTEMP= 2-0290/pwm2=25
MAXTEMP= 2-0290/pwm2=45
MINSTART= 2-0290/pwm2=120
MINSTOP= 2-0290/pwm2=85
You can then add the following to your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/usr/sbin/fancontrol &> /var/log/fancontrol.log &
