1 1 = 2500rpm on M4800, threshold/hysteresis edits ignored #22

Monitoring i8kctl in a panel app I see as soon as fan states go from 0 0 to 1 1 the fans are at 2500rpm instead of 1000. plus, fans spin up at 60C and drop at 55C while I edited i8kmon.conf and restarted the daemon with these lines:

[...] set config(0) {{0 0} -1 70 -1 60} set config(1) {{1 1} 60 70 55 70} set config(2) {{1 1} 65 80 65 80} set config(3) {{2 2} 75 128 75 128}

Speed values are set here to avoid i8kmon probe them at every time it starts.

set status(leftspeed)<->"0 700 1200 2500" set status(rightspeed)<>"0 700 1200 2500"

running on AC.

This is behaving as expected. Dell intentionally handicaps most of their laptops and disables the manual RPM control, except for on their top of the line models like XPS and Alienware.
