Hi,

Short self intro: I'm the author and maintainer of the f71882fg driver.

Well first fo all we will need a datasheet, yes really. The fintek
chips are quite complex when it comes to there fan control parts
and there then to be subtile differences between all the different
versions, see all the special handling for various revisions already
present in the driver.

Luckily Fintek usually provides datasheet to the public. But they tend
to lag a bit between devices showing up in the market and actually
publishing a datasheet. They don't want to put the sheet up till it
is "final" (or so I think), where as products are already being sold
in the market with the chip in them (presumably made with the use of
non final datasheets).

So the thing to do is to keep an eye on:
http://www.fintek.com.tw/eng/products.asp?BID=1&SID\x17

And when a datasheet shows up there drop me a mail and I'll extend
the driver and then ask you to test it.

Regards,

Hans
