3.13, nouveau driver and GeForce GT 120

Since the update to 3.13.4, the fan control of my video card is not working and the fan is spinning at full speed.

I couldn't find anything about this problem.
Am I missing something obvious ?

That looks like a regression. I suggest you perform a git bisect like this:

git bisect start v3.13 v3.12 -- drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau

We could then file a bugreport a freedesktop.

You could also update to v3.14 and see if it's already fixed (DO THIS FIRST).

Same issue here with:
Card: NVIDIA GF108 [GeForce GT 430]
Has been the same since linux 3.13 rc1 through 3.13.5.
Still present in linux 3.14rc5, started testing that one today. Just a post to let you know, you are not the only one seeing this regression.

That's the real bad new :-(

A regression is not bad news at all. At some specific version this worked and then failed. You should be able to figure out *exactly* what caused i with a git bisect.
