Package: i8kutils
Version: 1.43
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

My laptop's fan acting very strangely (it does not seem to be correlated
with the temperature at all…), I tried using i8kutils. Unfortunately, it
has absolutely no effects, even as root.

Other users got it working on the same laptop (Latitude E7440) :
https://superuser.com/questions/533102/laptop-fan-is-always-on-using-linux-mint-14

Kernel module is loaded :
$ lsmod | grep smm
dell_smm_hwmon         16384  0

i8kctl output seems correct :
$ i8kctl
1.0 A21 348DTZ1 36 -1 2 -1 6698 -1 -1

But i8kctl has no effect, either for starting :
# i8kctl fan 2 2
or stopping the fan :
# i8kctl fan 0 0

Of course, the system service also does not seem to have any effect.

I am using the newest version of the BIOS (A21). Do not hesitate to ask
if I can provide other information, or if I should report this upstream.

Rergards,
Yvan
