Description
xuname
Void 7.2.6_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel notuptodate rrrmFF
Package(s) Affected
linux7.2
Description
Linux 7.2 added the yogafan hwmon driver for fan speed monitoring on modern Lenovo consumer laptops, including IdeaPad and Slim models.
The current Void linux7.2 kernel is built with:
CONFIG_SENSORS_YOGAFAN is not set
As a result, the yogafan module is not available:
$ modprobe yogafan
modprobe: FATAL: Module yogafan not found in directory /lib/modules/7.2.6_1
I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 16IAH8 (DMI product name 83ES).
The upstream 7.2 kernel documentation lists support for Lenovo IdeaPad/Slim Embedded Controllers and the driver exposes fan RPM through standard hwmon fanX_input attributes.
