Comment 21 for bug 1179282

Hello raph,

you are right: storing the fan speed in a variable will report estimated speed instead of the real value. But what is another solution that do not call the i8k_smm function? We can not keep calling i8k_smm directly as it is certainly a 'freeze' call!

As far as I know, there is no doc about i8k_smm. I have searched the web for any single doc, and found almost nothing.

I don'know Jonathan Buzzard.
