It is possible to control the fan speed with this program if your motherboard supports it. Just use the arrows beside the number 240. And you need to run this application as root to be able to control the fans.

I compile program (without errors) and run, but I don't sea the result of temperature of processor and mother board. Why? $uname -a Linux localhost 2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv #1 SMP Thu Sep 27 04:07:04 CEST 2007 i686 Mandriva 2008 Power Pack

Hi, How do you install, could you let me know the detail step?

sebbe1991

1. Download the source file 2. open a terminal and cd into the directory where you saved the file. 3. tar xf qtfan-1.0.tar.gz 4. cd qtfan 5. qmake 6. make 7. sudo make install (or su -c 'make install' ) 8. start qtfan from kmenu->system->qtfan

What output do you get from: ls /sys/class/hwmon/ and what motherboard do you have?

renatgaraev

# ls /sys/class/hwmon/ # Empty output. May be I can install modules or what I can need make, then you program can start work?

Install lm_sensors and run sensors-detect to find out which modules you need loaded.

I have installed lm_sensor and run sensors-detect below is the output Driver `it87' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, address 0x290 Chip `ITE IT8712F Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) I will now generate the commands needed to load the required modules. Just press ENTER to continue: But I Already installed Qtfan before. How do I proced from here>

You should not need to do anything more than that to get correct fan readings, to check if it works run "sensors" from the terminal, if you get fan speed readings and temperatures it should work in QtFan, if not post the output of ls /sys/class/hwmon/ and find /sys -iname 'pwm*'

Thank you, I managed to install qtfan and it really work. This is just for displaying right? Can we use it to control the speed of the fan. Or is there any other project for controlling the fan speed?
