Agreed, I never knew which of the three values had which functionality. For via686a this would be inX, inX_min, inX_max, tempX, tempX_overshoot (over = overshoot = os ?), tempX_hyst, and so on. > Entry Values Function > ----- ------ -------- > temp, > temp[1-3] 3 Temperature max, min or hysteresis, and input value. > Floating point values XXX.X or XXX.XX in degrees Celcius. If we're restructuring it, I think we should also agree on _one_ common denominator for all values ie. mVolt and milli-Degree Celsius, so that no userspace program ever again has know how to convert them to user-readable values and every user can just cat the values and doesn't have to wonder if it's centi-Volt, milli-Volt, centi-Degree, dezi-Degree or whatever.
