Rereading the buglog it seems like I should follow through on whatever
plan I had in mind a year ago and then forgot about (my memory stopped
about halfway through that log...).
The main unresolved issue is how to detect fanless vs fan systems, in
the absence of an ability to autodetect that I'd always want to err on
the side of defaulting to controlling the fans, so some sort of manual
intervention would be needed on a fanless system, but it could be made
easier.
In the meantime some more info on the HS-210 would be useful please Max:
* What does the hardware line in /proc/cpuinfo say?
* /etc/qcontrol.conf should be a symlink, what does it point to?
* Can you paste the contents of /etc/qcontrol.conf (whether it is
a link or not) please?
* Are there any files in /etc/qcontrol.d?
As a workaround until it can be fixed properly you can just edit out the
lines which cause the buzzing from the config. Debian will preserve
those changes on upgrade etc as usual.
Thanks,
Ian.
