    781781long as we don't know more, the w83781d driver doesn't handle PWM on 
    782782AS99127F chips at all. 
     783 
     784Additional info about PWM on the AS99127F by Marcansoft: 
     785 
     786I've been fiddling around with the (in)famous 0x59 register and 
     787found out the following values do work as a form of coarse pwm: 
     788 
     7890x80 - seems to turn fans off after some time(1-2 minutes)... might be 
     790some form of auto-fan-control based on temp? hmm (Qfan? this mobo is an 
     791old ASUS, it isn't marketed as Qfan. Maybe some beta pre-attemp at Qfan 
     792that was dropped at the BIOS) 
     7930x81 - off 
     7940x82 - slightly "on-ner" than off, but my fans do not get to move. I can 
     795hear the high-pitched PWM sound that motors give off at too-low-pwm. 
     7960x83 - now they do move. Estimate about 70% speed or so. 
     7970x84-0x8f - full on 
     798 
     799Changing the high nibble doesn't seem to do much except the high bit 
     800(0x80) must be set for PWM to work, else the current pwm doesn't seem to 
     801change. 
     802 
     803My mobo is an ASUS A7V266-E. This behaviour is similar to what I got 
     804with speedfan under Windows, where 0-15% would be off, 15-2x% (can't 
     805remember the exact value) would be 70% and higher would be full on.
