Yes, thats true. Noone has the docs to write a driver for it.
But isn't it possible to use the one from YellowDog Linux ? It should be available in the SRPMS ? ___________________________________________________________________________ Appel audio GRATUIT partout dans le monde avec le nouveau Yahoo!

Are you saying their 2.6.8 kernel has a fan driver, but the vanilla 2.6.13 still doesnt have it?

It is written on their web page : And YellowDog linux is very very far to be up-to-date .... especially compared to SuSE or Ubuntu ! they use kernel 2.6.10 * ... with /new/ support for:* # Thermal (fan) for G5s Power Macs. # Sleep for most ATI-based portables. # iMac G5 (sans on-board audio, modem, thermal). # Mac mini (sans on-board audio, modem). # Updated ALSA sound driver for all non-G5 hardware. # Griffin iMic USB audio device support. http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/ ___________________________________________________________________________ Appel audio GRATUIT partout dans le monde avec le nouveau Yahoo!

The URL you provided pointed to 2.6.8, which had no relevant patches. Please send me the full dmesg output of their 2.6.10 and our 2.6.13.

There is a package named pmac-utils-2.1-5.ydl.1.src.rpm and another one macutils-2.0b3-27.src.rpm in the yellowdog linux 4 sources in the ftp server. ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yellowdog-4.0/en/os/SRPMS ___________________________________________________________________________ Appel audio GRATUIT partout dans le monde avec le nouveau Yahoo!
