no pwm1, but pwm1_enable exists on laptop #185

sorry if this is a stupid thing to make an issue about, but as I was configuring thinkfan for the first time, I realized that I have a pwm1_enable, but no pwm1 in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon#/, is this normal? did I miss a step?

Hi @ImALoooserOk, sorry about the late reply. I've heard about some drivers with limited support for userspace fan control. First of all I'd need to know which hwmon driver we're talking about. You should find it by looking where the device/driver symlink points in your hwmon directory.

As a wild guess, if you're talking about the thinkpad_acpi driver, you might need to load with the option fan_control=1.

Assuming module options solved this. Feel free to reopen if needed.
