Then the real hack. Open src/backend/nv50.c. Somewhere you'll see:

if((nv_card->gpu == MOBILE) &&
((nv_card->subvendor_id == PCI_VENDOR_ID_HP) ||
(nv_card->subvendor_id == PCI_VENDOR_ID_SANYO) ||
(nv_card->subvendor_id == PCI_VENDOR_ID_SONY) ||
(nv_card->subvendor_id == PCI_VENDOR_ID_ZEPTO)))
{

Change it to:
if(nv_card->gpu == MOBILE)
{

Same result there - leave it with me for now in case I'm doing something stupid. I can see the code reference for the G94 chipset that the 9800M is based on so it should (in theory!) recognise it.

Edit: Now I can make some sense of the registers, it seems it may not be the smartdimmer stuff - the register that affects is already set to 100% .

[Thunderbird]

Right now the code asusmes 0x400 is the maximum value which not be correct and laptop specific. Try to set smartdimmer to a lower version just to see if it has any effect on your laptop.

Fanspeed adjustment should now work on geforce 8600/9600 and perhaps some other cards using the cvs version. Support for 8800/9800 cards will follow quickly if I know for sure that the current code works. I need heavy testing of it. Myself I only have a fanless 8600gt.

Fanspeed adjustment working on my 8600GT

$ src/nvclock -f  -F +10                                  
Uknown Winbond vendor: 0                                                                      
Current fanspeed: 30.0%                                                                       
Changing fanspeed from 30.0% to 40.0%                                                         
New fanspeed: 41.1%

Fan speed still works on my 8800GT, with the ADT7473 temperature sensor (it worked in the version from Ubuntu 8.10 already). I still need to test my 9500GT with the CVS version (the Ubuntu version wouldn't work at all). One note: it seems that the new fan speed is read too soon after setting it, as nearly always it shows the old speed as the new speed:

$ nvclock -f -F 60
Current fanspeed: 837 RPM
PWM duty cycle: 34.9%
Changing duty cycle from 34.9 to 60.0
Fanspeed: 837 RPM
New PWM duty cycle: 34.9

Could you add the output of nvlcock -D?
