We have Asus to thank for that. =/ Perhaps Alex van Kaam (Motherboard Monitor developer) could help us here; IIRC he's contributed to lm_sensors in the past. In the meantime... After casting my marginally-experienced-kernel-hacker's eye over the lm_sensors sources, I think I might have spotted a fix for the fan issue. The standard caveats apply; this patch may save your bacon, or it may take you from the frying pan into the fire. I will not be responsible for any damage this does to your computer, your health, your sanity, or any of your friends, family, neighbors, or other possessions. ;) All that being said, just cd to your lm_sensors source directory and type "patch -p1 < /path/to/lm_sensors-2.6.4-asus.patch". Then recompile and reinstall lm_sensors. I haven't tried to fix the temp issue--yet. It looks a little more difficult, and that job's probably better suited to a developer with appropriate hardware to test on. -- Kelledin "If a server crashes in a server farm and no one pings it, does it still cost four figures to fix?" -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
