Re: Changing temperature trip points

Hi!

See, now that I can understand.  :)

Anyway, let's see...having set temperatures to 60, 50 and 45 C
respectively, and running a compile to move the core temperature up, the
fan does in fact trigger at 45 C.  Outstanding.  I'll script it into
changing them automatically at startup.

I believe user should be clever enough to set polling rate manually.

I wouldn't leave anything to the user unless it's extremely clear cut,
particularly with the movement towards a more Windows-like Linux (see
Bluecurve) that tries to soften the reality of Linux not being that
friendly to the average schmuck.

No.

You only ever need to touch polling_frequency in case your hardware is
broken. If you are working around broken hardware,you'd better know
what you are doing.

Kernel is *not* meant to be user friendly. You can have your "broken
hardware setup wizard" in your distribution if you want, but not in
kernel.
