This has nothing to do with the i8kutils package, this is a kernel module
issue, but isn't really a bug. Hence closing.
The chances are either your laptop isn't supported at all, or the module
just doesn't know about you laptop model. You can try doing 'modprobe i8k
force=1' and if that works and all is well then put 'i8k force=1'
in /etc/modules and consider taking this upstream to the kernel, so that
your laptop model can be added in module. If that doesn't work then your
laptop simply isn't supported.
Regards,
Bradley Smith
