We already have a small database of config > files here: http://lm-sensors.org/wiki/Configurations Smolt is already reading the DMI data (only it looks in "System Information", or at least bases its statistics on that). It shouldn't be hard to teach it to store "Base Board Information" (which, unlike "System Information", doesn't read "To Be Filled" or "System Product Name", at least on my computers). Then, it's only a matter of checking whether /etc/sysconfing/lm_sensors exists, and if it does, uploading it (it's just 4 modules here). You'll soon have a large database of successfully detected configurations. I know my Smolt will give you one, automatically . After some time, you'll have a database of people's settings which can be used to install and autoconfigure lm_sensors at install time. Then people will start to use it, then other people will be curious, why they don't have it working on startup, and you'll just wait for bug reports about misdetected boards. All that with half an hour of Smolt hacking, I guess :) Lam
