ERROR - Could not update fan speed #35
Description
First, thanks for doing this! My GPU fans make a weird croaking/bullfrog sound (one in particular) as it stops and then restarts every few seconds. It is super annoying and I'm hoping your project will help me fix that.
I've followed the README except for running X11 as root. Since my driver version is 460.73.01 I was hoping to avoid doing that. Unfortunately it seems that may be the reason I get the error. Here's my output:

I'd just like to get your advice before I open a security hole by running X11 as root. Is this error caused by my unprivileged X11 use?
