22 Instead I backported the i87.c driver from the upcoming linux
23 2.36.7.rc5 itree into my linux-2.6.36.6 kernel.
24
25 After recompiling i and a reboot it loads well but dmesg shows that
26 there were conflicting ACPI areas then. The driver itsself suggests to
27 use the atk0110-acpi driver instead the it87 one.
28
29 So I will do that and give the BIOS the full control over the fans.
