We provide asus-fan-dkms-git, is that not good enough?

joaomfds commented 1 month ago

asus-fan-dkms-git does not provide executable as asus-fan-control... The user has to create scripts or issue direct commands as in: echo 123 > ${fpath}/pwmX # set to 123 echo 0 > ${fpath}/pwmX # switch fan off (DANGEROUS!) echo 255 > ${fpath}/pwmX # set to max speed asus-fan-control provides both the systemd service and an executable to set fan speeds (besides fixing the incorrect defaults of some laptops). Besides that, I have been unable to get asus-fan-dkms to work on my laptop (asus s510-ua)
