Talk:Patch for controlling fan speed

208.59.173.3: added question

How would I port this patch to Windows XP?

--Jason

-------------------------------------

I can confirm that it works on Thinkpad {{T43}} here. However after
applying the patch, the fan speed monitor of gkrellm 2.2.7 cannot read
value correctly. Maybe we gkrellm is reading the second line for speed
but instead find the line for level, so it got confused? Would it be possible to interchange the lines so that speed still appears in the
second line and level appears in the third instead? I'm no coder, just
a suggestion to improve the patch.

I'd say it's a bug in gkrellm. It should parse the line header rather than relying on line numbers. But feel free to change (and test) the patch if you wish.

== patch to keep gkrell working against 2.6.14 ==

As in "works for me on a T43p", use with caution at your own risk. And thanks to thinker for the original patch, very nice work.

(See article for the actual patch)

Looks excellent, why not add it to the article page? Also, care to provide a license (preferably public domain like my patch) so the kernel guys can handle it? Speaking of which, the kernel people seem to like their patches generated via "diff -up vanilla-kernel-2.6.14 patched-kernel-2.6.14".

Done, using the -p option for diff and "borrowing" your sentence for licensing purposes.
