pwmconfig not working, missing module?


Hi, i wanted to change the fan speed with pwmconfig.

i did the sensors-detect command several times and rebooted.
i have a Asus P5Q motherboard with a W83667HG chip

i guess the right driver for this chip is 'w83627ehf'
however the kernel logs saying:
systemd-modules-load[2555]: Failed to insert 'w83627ehf': Device or resource busy

pwmconfig output:
Code:
/usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

sensors output:
Code:

Cannot run pwmconfig (There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed

Hi, I’m trying to control the fan speed in my laptop (Huawei Matebook D14 2020, AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Vega GPU). I’ve installed lm_sensors, and run sudo sensors-detect. However, when I try to run sudo pwmconfig, I get this output:





# pwmconfig version 3.6.0
This program will search your sensors for pulse width modulation (pwm)
controls, and test each one to see if it controls a fan on
your motherboard. Note that many motherboards do not have pwm
circuitry installed, even if your sensor chip supports pwm.

We will attempt to briefly stop each fan using the pwm controls.
The program will attempt to restore each fan to full speed
after testing. However, it is ** very important ** that you
physically verify that the fans have been to full speed
after the program has completed.

/usr/bin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed






What can I do?
