If you send me the isadump output, then I can check, but since the it87 has some mfr ID registers that the LM78 doesn't have, we can be more confident that it's an IT87 if both are recognized, and we should recommend it over the LM78. Isn't that what you wanted? I thought that's what you were complaining about. mds Jakub Narebski wrote: > > On Fri, 4 Jan 2002, Mark Studebaker wrote: > > > please rerun with the correct arguments > > 'isadump 0x295 0x296' > > O.K. > > > I can look at boosting the confidence for the it8712 detection > > from 7 to 8 so it will be recommended over the lm78. > > What for? it87 and lm78 both have _the very same_ confidence. lm87 is > recommended over it87 only because it _comes first_.
