thanks for your answer. In the meantime I wrote arbitrary numbers into the

Then, after a friend told me that, I wrote arbitrary numbers, which are
potencies of 2, without newlines (echo -n) into the files. But this also
resulted in no changes.

Strange.

Then I looked again at the output of sensors-detect, and it told me that
k8temp is not available. I found that it is not part of my kernel (2.6.16)
and not part of the current stable version (2.6.18). It is part of the
kernel since 2.6.19.

My board has the same chipset as yours (K8T800 Pro), although on a
different board (Asus A8V Deluxe). The pwm controls work ever since I
bought the board in December last year. I'm only using the i2c_isa,
w83627hf, i2c_viapro modules (and i2c_dev built into the kernel).

Maybe you can google for the exact error message that you got?

Did you try pwmconfig?

Do you believe the missing module is the problem? If so, I would think about
installing the required kernel version, although it's a productive system.

I don't know, but as your board is not really new anymore I doubt that
this is a kernel problem that has only recently been fixed.
