Ah, thanks! After a couple of days (and since I ended up having to load some cvs modules to get my Audigy card somewhat working; Ah, life on the bleedin' edge :>), I went ahead and loaded the i2c & lm_sensors CVS modules. It did give me some more info to work with, and now I can look at my eeproms (I dont know why, but...). But perhaps I was misled or misinterpreted the `more info' ! It seemed to indicate I should use modprobe w83781d force_w83627hf=0,0x69 which _did_ give me apparent sensors output, but all the numbers were nonsense, eg, the fan was running at an impressive 37500 rpm! Wow! and all min & max were the same as the values..... I just tried your suggestion (and indeed 290 is where sensors-detect had found the chip) [I could have sworn that I tried this before...] At any rate, now I'm getting mostly sensible (see below) A few inputs I'm pretty sure aren't hooked up (fan2,fan3,temp3, Vcore2?) A couple of others look worrisome (VCore1, +3.3V, -12V, -5V), but perhaps the conversion parameters need tweeking for the w83697hf ? If anybody knows the needed tweaks, I'd appreciate it; otherwise, I'll eventually grope around and try to figure it out. At any rate, I'm much closer; Thanks!!! w83627hf-isa-0290 Adapter: ISA adapter Algorithm: ISA algorithm VCore 1: +1.77 V (min = +1.23 V, max = +1.36 V) VCore 2: +0.00 V (min = +1.23 V, max = +1.36 V) +3.3V: +1.52 V (min = +3.13 V, max = +3.45 V) +5V: +4.89 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V) +12V: +12.39 V (min = +10.79 V, max = +13.19 V) -12V: +1.95 V (min = -10.90 V, max = -13.21 V) -5V: +0.61 V (min = -4.76 V, max = -5.26 V) V5SB: +5.58 V (min = +4.72 V, max = +5.24 V) VBat: +3.08 V (min = +2.40 V, max = +3.60 V) fan1: 4891 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) fan2: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) fan3: 0 RPM (min = 3000 RPM, div = 2) temp1: +77?F (limit = +140?F, hysteresis = +122?F) sensor = thermistor temp2: +114.8?F (limit = +140?F, hysteresis = +122?F) sensor = thermistor temp3: +491.9?F (limit = +492?F, hysteresis = +492?F) sensor = thermistor vid: +1.30 V alarms: Chassis intrusion detection beep_enable: Sound alarm disabled
