The sensors_vid.h file is there, but the w83781d.c file is still at rev 1.90 and doesn't use the new function. I have a patch for w83781d that will allow for proper initialization and detection on the tyan dual athlon motherboards without entering the BIOS first. It still requires init=0 to be specified, or the machine locks when the driver is loaded. I looked at every reference to "init" in the w83781d.c and the code it triggers, and I can't see any reason for the lockup. Do you know if there is any code init triggers that I wouldn't find this way? There shouldn't be any reason the temperature/voltage limits can't be initialized with this board.
